My friend when I was a lad, had a keyboard you hooked to the TV. And put tapes in it for programs. Was that the commadore 64? This would have been early late 70's or early 80's. Of course the first game console we had was PONG. I remember when my dad brought that home. It was the coolest thing ever.
Anyways. One reason I came to this thread was for RLSH. DS had mentioned OPenOffice. It is a good program, I used it with linux but didn't realize they made it for PC and Mac. I downloaded it last night for my PC, because I don't have office and refuse to pay that price. And I also downloaded it for my wife for her Mac so she can update her resume. You can read all M$ office stuff and when saving you can save as an office doc so others can read it on office. I say check it out, and it is the best price, FREE.
Here is the link.
