Kolbers,



I just up dated my web site.  I write my own htmls and I developed the web 

site using a machine that is now about 12 years old.  It had a 800 x 600 

pixel screen.  I used some width control statements that used percent 

instead of the number of pixels.  For those who had the newer or wider 

screens, this caused the pages to become very stretched from side to 

side.



I purchased a couple of new computers, and I could see the effect.  I have 

corrected all the htmls so that they are forced into 800 pixel widths and I 

removed all full page length commands.  This compacts the pages, which 

should make them easier to read.



If you would like to see the new look, it can be seen at:

Almost warm enough to fly, but we have seen nothing but rain for a couple 

of days.

George,



My wife's printer died, and I had to purchase a new printer, but none of the 

new printers would work with our old machines.  This forced the upgrade.  My 

son has been after me for ever to get an Apple.  I let him pick one out and 

tried to foist it off onto my wife.  She did not go for it, so I had to 

purchase a Dell for her.  It came with Vista.  We have been through 

technology HELL in the last two weeks.  I was able to load Microsoft Office 

for XL into her Dell and to convert things so that it looks like XL for her. 

 Her old machine is sitting on a table close by for backup, but she has not 

touched it for a week.  If this continues for a month, I will put the old 

machine away.



I have been uploading files to my son's server and then downloading them 

into the new machines.  I am slowly moving to the Apple.  It is a great 

machine with many hidden features.  I am still in the discovery stage.



The neat thing is that total update cost in dollars is the same as when I 

bought a Kaypro II, eight bit, Z80 computer and daisy wheel printer back in 

the early 1980's.  It was a wonderful machine, and basically it compared the 

card feed IBM 1620 that was popular at the time.  Over the eight bit years, 

I wore out a half dozen pin printers.



Technology is wonderful, in that I can live in the boonies, and converse 

with just about anyone in the world.  With the new machines, my son and I 

are trying to video conference back and forth so that we can see and 

converse with our granddaughter in Indianapolis.  And Google is the most 

wonderful at your finger tips information library card catalog.



Some fault new technology as bad, but technology has no morality.  The 

morality only comes into play as to how people apply technology.



Still raining and the White River is moving closer.
