hermanmullins Report post Posted February 28, 2018 Welcome to the Forum Holligan. I smiled when I saw you went from a 3rd Class Electricians Mate to a foot surgeon. Now that is a "wide step" (sic) Pun intended. Retired yet? Thanks you for your service. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimeTraveler Report post Posted April 8, 2018 In 1970s we had a big room with I don't remember how many IBM large reel to reel units. I had 13 Ladies that worked the inventory and payroll etc. Men would pull their hair out. our small laptops now have more computing power, does anyone use it, than that room full of hardware. Next time maybe just a small hundred or two dollar laptop. All we do is link up with others or play games on these things isn't it? My 16 year old 1.6 gig HP 32 sets next to this one with keyboard stuck( spaghetti or something) or I would use it. Windows 7 is faster too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ispjs Report post Posted April 8, 2018 Ernie and Jack, welcome home! If you don't display the VN campaign ribbon on the back of your RV you should find one and put it on. I have displayed one on my Harley windscreen and the back of my RV now for awhile. You will be shocked at how many vets will stop by and shake your hand and have a chat.

My first tour was in the artillery, but my helicopter tour made it hard to keep my head down. But as luck would have it, I still got the PH during my first tour.
