>the dial ups don’t know what right click means either

LOL! Reminds me of when they put that little “go” arrow up there by the address bar.

What, they didn’t know to press “ENTER?” LOL!

Basically there is the DOS generation and therefore we aren't "mouse driven" and the "windows generation" and everything is a mouse. I still to this day use ALL key commands, I hit f5 for refresh, ctrl +A to select all, CTRL+V for paste, CTRL+P for print, CRTL+S for save...I am not a mouse kind of gal! LOL!!!!

My first PC work was in 1982 and I was trained on AutoCad (and certified) and it was with a digitizer (earlier leader to the future mouse) and all keyboard. To this day I do AutoCad with key commands and the young whipper snappers take twice as long to do the same work because they are hunting around all over for mouse things to click...drives me insane....

I’ve been embarassed a few times to watch someone else do something on the computer, and realize they did in one keystroke what I used to do in three.
