Aloha Night Owl!

I'm taking computer classes.....the stuff you probably took years ago; Word and Excel. I've got some experience at the OTJ level, self taught, but need the certificate for bona fides.

School's fun.....something to do.... but the scenery at the campus isn't much different from that at the beach.

I do NOT excel at excel.

Good for you on the classes Bigs. An asset for certain.

Word and Excel are sorta self-taught here too. I'm old! The one computer class I took in Junior Collage had these, maybe 12x12 or bigger, boards that you plugged things into....like the switchboards of old. My brain had a very hard time with the concept.

This is a telephone switchboard, but the things we plugged in looked just like it.

U.S. Air Force Sgt. Suzann K. Harry, of Wildwood, N.J., operates a switchboard in the underground command post at Strategic Air Command headquarters, Offutt Air Force Base, Neb., in 1967.

Very cool that you are enjoying yourself. Is your home computer behaving?
