Have a good day "all ya all".

Yes, I guess dad was ahead of his time...he never even went to the corner store, unless accompanied by one of his various cameras...he loved taking pics...

He also loved to take movies, using the old movie cameras...he would take movies, and then would splice odd stuff into family vacation movies...he would order old time movies, and splice parts of those movies into his own home movies...they were a scream...

He had just begun converting lots of his film onto VCR tapes when he got sick...so eventually I will have to convert all that old movie film...he died, just before the computer explosion, and the digitial cameras..he would have been in heaven, with computer access and digital cameras...

But he saw the beginnings of the computer revolution...when Andy was just 15, my dad bought him his first computer, well, it was the Commodore 64...but dad felt computers were the wave of the future, and that Andy should be up to date, so dad bought him all the stuff he needed...that was in 1989, so it was still early in he advent of everyone having their own personal computers....but the Commodore 64, was a forerunner, more or less, and dad had the foresight to see that...

And Andy loved that Commodore 64, had tons of games and even typing discs, and educational stuff...he sure got immense use out of that...to this day, he still has the machine with all the discs, and it still works fine...Andy keeps it for sentimental reasons, being his first venture into the world of computers...Andys actually kept every single computer hes ever had...he also has all the computers from the company he worked for...when he was assigned the task of buying the company all their new computers, they were just going to throw out the old ones...not so fast, said Andy...he took them all home...

Then when that comany got bought out, the new parent company was going to throw out all the computers that the original company had bought, just the year before...and again, Andy took all those computers home...

So Andy has a computer collection...he has his own new computer for his own use, but just likes having and hanging onto all these older computers...odd collection to me, but then he thinks my dollies are an odd collection, so to each their own...

Yes, I am watching my tootsies, and trying to keep them safe and sound...a hard stubbing would really be awful, and would result in a stream of obscenities, that would hang in the air for some time to come...
