‘Tis a sad day indeed. The End of a Floppy Era.
This article goes into the passing of an icon for the past 30 years, the Floppy Disk. Although they haven’t been “floppy” since the demise of the 5 1/4″ disk, the name stuck. I know, I know, the media inside was floppy… Sheesh.
Anyway, with the advent of the Universal Serial Bus and the USB thumb drive, floppys are truly dead. USB drives hold more, are faster and more convenient to tote around.
I started out with computers on a borrowed RCA Elf. It had a whopping 2K of memory, and no storage capability at all. No floppy disk, not even a port to save files and programs to “stringy floppy,” i.e. cassette tapes. The whole computer was a bare motherboard, with a Hexadecimal keypad as part of the board. Those were the fun days, when a computer could do anything. Where we wondered how we would fill all of that cavernous memory. Now we have problems running out of memory when we *only* have a gigabytes worth.
Such were the days, when computers were magical items. We never even dreamed of such things as GUIs, the Internet, or instant communications across the world and all that. That was still science-fiction in the 1970’s.
I shall miss my floppies, even though I have a 1 gig thumb drive.

Here you go. The truth about Hillary.
I’m rattling the tip jar because I want to read this book, but I can’t afford the cash to get it.
My friend Mike posted that Hillary is “Darkly Nixonion.” I think she’s worse than that.

This woman is evil. She is dark. And she is driven – even beyond my worst nightmares.
I had long recognized parallels between Hillary and Richard Nixon. But the comparison does an injustice to Nixon. While both were exceedingly ambitious, Nixon reached a point in his presidency where he let go of power for the good of the country. Hillary would never do that. Bill would never do that.
“The comparison between Hillary Clinton and Richard Nixon can be pushed only so far,” writes Klein. “Whereas Nixon sought power in large part to overcome his low self-esteem, Hillary seeks power because she has unrealistically high self-esteem. With Hillary, we are dealing with a woman whose need for dominance is far more pathological than Nixon’s.”
She actually believes she is entitled to become president. The only way she could be denied would be through some kind of fraud or chicanery.

The Hildabeast would be the worst thing that could happen to our country. Not because she’s a woman, but because of her mindset, her quest for power, her abuse of power. Look at all of the Clinton-Gates she was at the center of during her Tenure as First Lady. Look at what she accomplished (and almost accomplished) while holding no political power. Now think of her in power and having the ability to carry out her plans.
