Overview

We’re old guys. we have (hopefully) some wisdom to go with our experience. What we don’t have is the quickness needed for video games nor the desire to waste our time dealing with things we don’t have to.

Seems to have become our topic for each discussion today.

First it’s playing video games with millenials. Then its hotel and fast food expectations. Then its our coffee pots.

that’s pretty very tongue and cheek way of looking at it. Me, I’ve got the same background and it’s because guess what? The parts and technology for putting your computer together is way different. And for some reason I’m not getting anything coming up on my put together computer right now.

So I’ve

Alan: gotta get it used to be, it just, they kinda worked and it fit and then you turned it on and, oh my, oh no. Yeah.

Stephen: So I’m dealing with that. I got my, I got a hard drive and I looked at it and said, this is just a really big USB stick. Where do I put this? and there’s new connections to

And they kept on fixing it and stabilizing it, but then it didn’t stay stable. And so I kept, I was feeling really foolish and guilty over, Hey, hon.

I fixed it up and now I gotta go to California. And then two days in she’s dead in the water. So luckily besides her laptop, everybody has a phone nowadays. She has a work laptop as well, but all kinds of stuff that you do on your home laptop, if you really divided your life, you don’t wanna start mixing between, you don’t wanna on a work laptop.
