ASK A SILLY QUESTION – Marilyn Armstrong

Sandman’s Weekly Q & A I don't usually do these, but -- this only has three questions and the first is a doozy! 1. What was your first computer?

BEFORE THE “CLOUD”

ARE YOU OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER? OH SURE YOU ARE. I wonder if operating systems will be relevant a few years from now. Change has been a synonym for technology for the past 30 years or more.

INTERNET ADDICTION AND POWER OUTAGES – BY ELLIN CURLEY

We lost power in a big wind and rain storm a few weeks ago. Our power was out for 24 hours but we didn’t suffer much at all. We have a generator that powers most of the house.

FOR THE PROMPTLESS: BRAND – Charter (Name Brand) the Cloud

It started yesterday evening, but I didn't get to really thinking about it until this morning. I got up a lot earlier than I needed to. My husband was trying to be quiet.
