Stoney Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 ....make anybody else wanna knock a smart mouth kid upside his head? The Apple commercial where the kid says "what's a computer?". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monte1076 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 It bugs me, too. But I think that's Apple's "marketing" thing. Computers are "boring". Tablets you can take with you are "fun". The one I used to think was kinda funny was the one where the girl is wearing the VR headset, and says in an exasperated voice, "How is this possible!?" And my response is, "You know those geeks and nerds you probably used to make fun of? That's how." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTV1 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I hate tablets and laptops, because the keyboards make it tough to type. I'm only going with a PC. Now you can get them for as little as $350 that blows away what I use now. I still have it in the box, because I'm going to use this 13 year old computer until it dies.

I have gone through about 6 laptops. The one I am using now I bought in 2013, I do use a wifeless mouse instead of the little scroll pad in the middle. Thinking about getting a tablet to take with me but I don't think you can use a mouse with them. My wife has been using an iPad for about 6 or 7 years. I use my smartphone a lot, but I think a tablet might be better .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's another reason to stick with a PC. I also have another computer upstairs that still works, but it doesn't have half the capacity that the one I just bought as a backup.

You had to program it yourself and use cassette tapes to store the memory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timex_Sinclair_1000 . I saved up for that thing, and all I could do was play a few games. About the only game I could play on it was "Hunt the Wumpus" . I became bored with it very fast, because I had an Intellivision, even back then the TV was your monitor.

Hagar Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I use the IPhone for a few years, but when I retired the kids got me this iPad. I love it. Only downside is trying to use the iPhone after getting the IPad. Them keys are so small, it takes forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
