(Homage to Technology)<\/STRONG><\/P> As I sit here watching High Definition TV, I reflect on how quickly we’ve moved from CRT based black and white TV’s to today’s LCD and Plasma based flat screens. It wasn’t that long ago that I purchased my very first color TV. I was one of the last people I know to get one. A 13 inch RCA. The year was 1983. It was beautiful. And I was living in a one room studio nearly without any technology at all save a small transistor radio and wind up alarm clock. It was shortly after that when I bought my first computer, a Tandy 1000 SL<\/A>. Circa early 1984. And yes, Radio Shack still keeps docs for these relics online. Look at the features<\/A> of this beauty! And look at all the setup<\/A> options. I remember buying the SmartWatch add-on to avoid having to type in the time and date at every bootup. In 1989, I purchased my second computer and it was mobile love at first sight. This state of the art portable was a 13.5 lb. luggable Tandy 1400 FD<\/A> convertible pc. Equipped with a whopping 768K of RAM, it had a switchable clock speed of 4.77\/8.16 MHz and an 8026\/7 Intel 8 MHz processor..<\/P> I realized that I’d discovered technology. And nothing has been the same since. <\/P> Fast forward to 2007. Windows Vista 64 bit computing and all the multi media is state of the art. We’ve gone from DOS to Windows and skyrocketed beyond what I could even imagine back in the “olden days”. And as I sit here typing this blog entry on Ferrari 5000 Vista x64 computer watching TV using MCE on a Velocity Micro 64 bit Vista home theater desktop computer I reflect on how far I’ve come. And how lucky I am to have the opportunities that have come my way.<\/P> <\/P> <\/FONT><\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" (Homage to Technology) As I sit here watching High Definition TV, I reflect on how quickly we’ve moved from CRT based black and white TV’s to today’s LCD and Plasma based flat screens.
