So the angry cardinal has a new trick: he grasps the bottom sill and glares into the window. It's cute. But the funny part is that apparently his little bird legs aren't quite as strong when he's clinging to a vertical surface. Because he slooooowly sinks backwards and down (with his feet still in the same place) until he has to flap back up to see the evil cardinal.
I've never had a PC or used one regularly. I don't think. What were those IIc things in the early 80s, anyway? Huh. I grew up with macs, then dealt in vax/vms and unix systems largely. Work is still largely unix, though I think my desktop will be transitioned to a mac and it looks like our main servers are moving unix to linux.

Those were Apples. Pre Mac, pre GUI.

I remember taking a computer class for a quarter and asking my mom if *we* could get a mouse. Because PCs didn't have mouses back in the day.
Finally read the Nerve article and, having lived and dated in both DC and NY, can attest to the fact that that article is bullsh*t on so many levels. I get the feeling that while she may have run in the intellectual or artistic power circles in NY, she did not run in the financial power circles, where she would have found a lot of the same behaviors she thinks one finds "only" in DC.
However, I will say that when I went to Georgetown people did seem to have this weird thing about SAT scores--Of course, at the time I was there, not only was it transitioning reputation-wise so there was a pretty big gap between Senior and Freshman scores, there were also with five separate schools with very different SAT thresholds for admission.
They had them at the elementary school. That's about all I remember about them, though by that time, we had a mac at home. Public schools=obsolete hardware then.
There's a "root" joke to be made here, but I'm not finding it.
I bought a Mac Classic in 1991 and couldn't give it away in 1996. Craziness.
I learned to program on a IIe!
If by program I mean "make color pictures with pixels," and indeed I do.
We have an Apple IIe in our guest room closet!
I'm not allowed to get rid of it, for some reason.
