@jalefkowit I have been marinating in computer stuff since I was a teenager in 1965. It was a lot harder when you had to code your queries for punch cards and then wait until they ran it overnight, but early pc and Mac stuff wasn’t hard, and you had control and a manual for this and that you could study, because nobody was stupid enough to confuse expertise with intuition.

The 90s were an adventure—google actually worked, and even Amazon used to be cool. Then things started to get harder by design and more cluttered with all those electronic hands reaching for your wallet.
