I met Fr. Tetherow through a then seminarian Wilfredo Comellas who is now a diocesan priest after the order he was studying at Newman House in Mt. Pocono was supressed by Bishop Timlin. Seminarian Comellas was stationed at St. Ann's until he became an ordained priest. He introduced Fr. Kloton and I and the rest of the staff to Fr. Tetherow. I brought a homeless boy to Fr. Tetherow with Comellas. A former Director of Music found and showed me homosexual porn on Fr. Kloton's computer way before Fr. Gabriel Tetherow came to St. Ann's. I reported it to Fr. Kloton and he told me that some of his biker friends sent it to him as a joke. He told the Director of Music that another priest had put it there. There was no visiting priest at St. Ann's at that time. I reported him to Bishop Timlin who said he would investigate Fr. Kloton. I resigned my position a couple of years ago and no investigation of Fr. Kloton was ever completed to my knowledge. Then Fr. Tetherow confesses to putting porn there. Is he covering up for Fr. Kloton or are they both in on it together? I have since reported it to the police and Bishop Martino who said he is investigating Fr. Kloton. Fr. Kloton is still actively the pastor of St. Ann's so I don't know what is going on. As for Fr. Tetherow, Fr. Comellas told me that he is ONLY allowed to celebrate the Tridentine Latin mass. Hope this clarifies some things.

I started with MS-DOS 5.0, brings back memories of the green screen, 10 meg hard drive, and the 5.25 disks that I had to keep blowing on to get them to work. The good old days.

I would if I kept any- used to, but got tired of those "Take Me Off Yer %^&*#$! Ping List!" emails.

But thanks for looking-- this is a catch-all for browsers, systems, viruses, and general computer tech stuff.

The first Trash-80 I had had 64K ram ( that was the deluxe model, standard was 16K ) and loaded software from a cassette tape deck. Amazingly, it had a jack-connected 300 baud modem instead of the "drop the handset in a cradle" common then. I actually took some McGraw-Hill correspondence courses in FORTRAN and COBOL back in my business days, but never used them in practice.

Now, my wife's little Dell Axim pocket pc has more horspower under the hood, and does more things, easier, than the loast DOS machine I built in 1998, which had ( I think! Too many PC's ago to be sure ) a 130mhtz 486, a couple of megs of ram, a 3.5gig HD, and DOS 6.22... I believe it also had a USR Sportster modem, 28 or 33K-- can't remember which.

These are what's listed:

KEYWORDS: BROWSERS; COMPUTERS; FIREFOX; INTERNETEXPLORER; MICROSOFT; SECURITY; WINDOWS;

-but I'm not sure there's an easy way to see how many hits have been counted on them.

The first computer I saw was a Commodore 64 my buddy brought over to my house, I thought is was a game system, at that time we use to play Intellivision and ColecoVision games on the TV. The first work computer I used was made by Honeywell and staring at the green screen use to make my eyes quiver. You could give it a command and go get a cup of coffee while you waited for it to complete the task. The heat that pumped out the side of the monitor which was attached to a large desk with the guts meshed into it, was so hot it we would shut it down twice a day to stop sweating. It took a pallet jack to pull them out of our department. Crap the old lady says its time to go shopping, be back later.

Us Men may think we're Lords of All We Survey-- but our wives know better. And don't hesitate to remind us...

The first microcomputer I can recall seeing a picture of in Byte magazine was an Altair ( or something that began with an "A" ) that you programmed in binary by flipping toggle switches on the front panel... in the days of the 8088 chip, the Zilog Z-80, and the Motorola 68000. Jeez, that stuff was primitive.
