I used to love using the card catalog at the library. :(

    AS 400. LOL.

    I know of a few large, successful companies for whom I used to work and who I know to still be using that program.

    UPS
    Cox Cable

    Are just a couple of them.

    I was taught wood graining and marbling...thing is these days, wood and even marble have become more affordable than paying a doofus to make something look like it.
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    The thing is....how do you still have one that works??? Must take really good care of it or got it on Freecycle.
    Nothing like kickin it old skool, I guess. :p

    Letting your fingers do the walking. :p They really should not be printing the yellow pages in this day and age...what a waste. People without computers can go to the local library and we can save energy and ink.

    They still sell vcr/dvd combos. And I was thinking that about the yellow pages. Even white pages. But not everyone has a computer.

    We didn't have punch cards, we had dinner tickets. I hated school dinners though, apart from junior school...luncheon meat, mash and beans, with chocolate cake and pink custard :D mmmmm

    I think about doing it alot. :)
    Popping popcorn in a pot on the stove, that is.

    I miss being able to slam the phone down on someone. Not that I am ever mad enough to do that...but if the opportunity arose, it would help. :o
    I used to love the big pushbutton phones.

    That's the best! I still do that! I'll admit, I use the microwave for popcorn more just to avoid consuming all the oil, but...popcorn from the stove is the best!!!
