  1. I think you people are great and doing a great service to the Veterans by recognizing them on their special day by posting on the Forum.

     

    I am a disabled Vet. I served my country for more than 20 years. I'm also one of those that got Eggs, Sh**, and cursed at San Francisco when we returned. Just to hear one person acknowledge the many that survived and the thousands that did not is a very good feeling.

  2. I love talking with my parents and my in-laws about how things were in the past, especially life during WW2. Not so long ago I was searching for something on the internet and stumbled across a very informative site about life in the war, it kept me engrossed for hours, even though it was not what I was originally looking for.

     

    When you were younger you probably got up to mischief as I and probably almost most kids did/do, but nowadays the kids seem to take it to a new level.

     

    We have a phase going on over here labelled "happy slapping", which involves a youngster slapping a random person around the face whilst being filmed on a mobile phone (cell phone), by one of their friends, the images are very quickly sent to all their mates, and then from them to others, latest case reported on the news was of it happening to an 82 year old lady, it is senseless and disrespectful, and makes you wonder what sort of a sick world do we live in nowadays.

     

    Hope it is not happening in USA, and never does.

     

    Sorry for that turning into a bit of a rant, but life today is not what it used to be.

     

     

     

     

    You have a PM.

  3. You speak with lots of wisdom, Mudd, and I am sure you could tell some interesting stories of life that would make us either laugh or cry.

     

    I have lots of time for the older generation, because if it was not for them I would not be here.

    From your posts it seems you have your head squared on your shoulders. Most younger generation people are totally uninterested in the distant past. I have two children, rather had as they are both middle aged people now. Neither is really interested in the 30s, 40s or the 50s even. I think they will regret that one day. I understand this as the pace of life today is so rapid as compared to my young days. I miss that very much. Glad I lived in my time. Seen, done, and enjoyed things that you younger fellows/gals will never have the opportunity to know. Enjoy your youth while you have it. It will be gone sooner than you realize.

  4. Nobody can make me feel bad about age. Man, I'm so happy that I made it this far nothing is going to change that!

     

    I refuse to be an Old Man!!!!!!! Still get my kicks out of thinking like I'm 20 or 30. Good Looking Women still look the same as they used to, Good Looking.

     

    Unless some of the old people's diseases get me I'm going to die happy and be aware of it.

     

    You young people need to appreciate what you have, try harder for what you don't have, be happy and be generous with yourself to others. That will get you a long way.

  5. I take my hat off to you, Mudd, it's nice to see the older generation keeping up with technology, and I am sure there are many things that you could teach me.

    My mum & dad are a bit older than yourself, and are now on their second computer after only six months of getting into it.

     

    Good luck with everything.

     

     

    It was a "necessity" in a way, in order to keep my sanity. Wish I had the space to explain it all but would take to much time and space.

     

    I am a little sad that all this technology came at a time when my days are limited and will not see the future things.

     

    What a world it has been! From a time when Radio was only for the wealthly, before TV, and now all this. It has been a blast!!!!

  6. 38, I feel old now, I am the oldest at the moment. :(

     

     

    CaPMan - You just lost your "advantage." I'm 70 and will be 71 in December.

    What am I doing on a board of young people? Sometime, just sometime, if you are selective and very careful one can learn from the Young. Most here seem very knowledgeable. I'm thankful that there are no restrictions of Age on the Board.

  7. Sounds cool, worth looking at.

     

     

    For what it's worth, I just downloaded the update which is more complicated than the older version. I had a little trouble figuring it all out. Did a lot of reading on their help windows, selected what I thought was right and what a bummer! Lost about 2MBs. Tried other settings offered, some helped, some didn't.

     

    Disgusted I returned to the older version without the update and things really picked up. So I'm staying with the older one for now.

     

    If you try the update, be advised you must have the older version installed before downloading the update. When downloading the update, pay careful attention to the instructions.

  8. Forbidden

    You don't have permission to access /~gottjl01/ on this server.

     

    Have the standalone *.exe?

     

     

    If the new Link doesn't work for you, I do have a standalone but it needs updating. I'm trying to update it now. I will add it to the Forum if requested by you.

  9. There is a program available by the name "CableNut" for free download on the internet. If you use it you can store your present settings then let it optomize all your PC setting for supposely a faster connection.

     

    I think the most logical way of seeing it is, "Running Things Wide Open." I picked almost a MB on download. The Cable Co I'm with advertise 284KB up and 3MB down. I wasn't getting this until I used the program CableNut. Now I usually average 400KB and 3.8MB down.

     

    If you use it, be careful and select the proper OS as it lists more than one.
