I remember Lotus 1,2,3 - my accountant friend was using it back in the mid 80s. He had, back around 1983, a “portable’ Compaq computer that was basically a suitcase whereupon when you opened it up, the lid was the keyboard. No mouse. It had a little monochrome screen, maybe 9” diagonal CRT. He ran Lotus 1-2-3 on it and did serious book-keeping with it, using his own designed spreadsheets.

Wordperfect, they used to use that in the office at work in that time frame, an upgrade from the dedicated word processor which was an upgrade from the electric typewriter.

My first computer, (except for that Sinclair thing I had, and still have in a box) was a Tandy HX1000 with 2 3.5” disk drives. I had Microsoft Works and DOS 3.11 which was built into the ROM of the machine. So, no updates. And Works was great for me, a little word processing, a little bit of spreadsheet, all basic functions and perfect for my purposes at the time.

Anyway, sorry about the computer talk. Just reminiscing the good old days.

🚨 NOW: President Trump announces he's looking for a GOP primary challenger to Rep. Lauren Boebert in Colorado, because she's campaigning for Thomas Massie

"Anybody who can be that dumb deserves a good Primary fight!"

"Even though I long ago endorsed Boebert, if the right person came along, it would be my Honor to withdraw that Endorsement, and endorse a good and proper alternative. Just let me know, or announce your Candidacy, and I will be there for you!"

"Is anyone interested in running against Weak Minded Lauren Boebert in Colorado’s Fourth Congressional District? You remember Lauren moved to the District when it became obvious that she couldn’t win in her original Congressional District (The Third!) — A Carpetbagger, indeed!"

"Boebert is campaigning for the Worst “Republican” Congressman in the History of our Country, Thomas Massie, of the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky."
