Mandolin Picker

Had a C-64 and a C-128. Really liked both of them - especially the 128. Had a program called GEOS (Graphic Environmental Operating System) that had a WYSIWYG word processor, spreadsheet, desktop publishing and more. Real graphical interface - just in black and white instead of color (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEOS_(8-bit_operating_system). Also used to go to a national BBS called Q-Link (Quantum Link). It was sold and became..... America Online

Got to see Roy Clark in a small theater in Lancaster Pennsylvania a few years back. There were several other performers on the ticket with him, but he was the only entertainer. He alone was worth the cost of admission. I think a lot of folks never saw him as a serious musician because of his comedy routines. They missed out on a lot.

In the first line of the second paragraph he uses the term DRM and describes it as "Download Rights Management" and then links to an article on DRM. In the linked article it is correctly described as "Digital Rights Management". When you can't even use the correct term that you link to, well, I don't think you did any research at all. I stopped reading right there.

Acoustic mandolin and guitar - no problem

The last smallpox case was in 1972. Smallpox was considered eradicated in 1980. The smallpox vaccine isn't even given anymore.

When my department was getting ready to institute chase cars for paramedics, almost got "Fast Aid Response Teams" through the process.

Glad you liked it!

I think back to my all time favorite movie, "12 Angry Men" starring Henry Fonda. An old B&W movie shot almost entirely on one set - the jury room. No explosions, no CGI, some music, but man the story and dialog keep you riveted to the movie. The story is what made the movie, good writing. Wish we could get back to that.
