Amazing how a five-year-old daughter with a pony can gallop you straight into a second mortgage, isn't it? From saddle soap to ribbons and rosettes, she rode the full course - jumps, mud, and all! Between vets, farriers, feed stores, saddlers and tack shops, my wallet was always empty!
And now, 42 years later, she’s still horsing around - just with a judge’s clipboard (she's a fully qualified Pony Club Judge!), and a calmer canter. Life may have pulled on the reins a little for her, but it clearly never loosened the girth on her love for horses. What a fantastic journey for her and I - I wouldn't have missed it for the world - hoofbeats and all!

What a wonderful life for a little girl. I love hearing stuff like that.

Sounds about right for some of the ancient routers..... remember how slow they were? And dial up? Yack!

And dial up? Yack!

It's all relative. When I started out my academic training, we were doing programs on punch cards. It was a huge step up to get to use text editors with a 300 BAUD line instead. And the slow march toward faster speed has continued, unrelenting, and picking up speed of its own ever since.

It's not that I look back at all wistfully, though. But there's something to be said for the perspective gained by not having had instant gratification in the world of computing/cyberspace (and elsewhere, for that matter).

Absolutely 100% agree! Many of us started with NO internet at all and had to carry work back and forth, when we worked at home, like I did much of the time right before we had any kind of dial up at all.
