Deja vu??

Our son has discovered a software that takes the computer screen back to the early days of computing… and he likes it… but is it really “new”? Completely black, full-screen with green type… what can I say? “Back to the Future”??

Here’s a short History of Modern Computing.

Site Problems

I’m having some site problems here, so please be patient, and check back soon. I’m unable to upload anything other than what you see here. I hope to have things up and running again soon.

About Me… Nancy Ivy

I’m a 57-year-old Wife, Mom, Grandma, Daughter of the Living God. I am very, very blessed in that my husband supports me fully. Actually, we support each other, and it’s not just that he brings home the paychecks and I spend them!

I’ve been working with computers since I was in college (1965-1969) where I learned tatting (threaded lace-making) and key-punching… both in the same office on the campus of Kansas State University. To key-punch, means to key letters & numbers into a machine that punches corresponding holes out of computer cards, with all sorts of information, including Fortran programming. So I picked up a basic familiarity with the languange… enough to know when what I had been given to punch had not been written correctly (minor “typos”).

I’ve been interested and active with computers ever since, although I have never gotten into the programming or creative side as my three sons have done. I use computers as tools in my daily living.

I like to read! I don’t like to read online or from the computer monitor, but I do. I much, much, much prefer to read books. Give me paper that I can hold, smell, feel, and mark!! (I’m a kinesthetic person.)

I like to write… informally. I journal for my personal use, and occasionally write poety, and I’m writing this blog!  Why the blog? Because I like to share my joys, my recipes, my thoughts, my life. I love to share photos!!

So come along with me and share Life!  :-)

OCD

My Ti-Book has Obsessive/Compulsive Disorder! It apparently gets caught in a loop and just keeps spinning, even though the world is… or is not…. falling down around it! Aaarrrrgggghhhh!!!!
