Didn't you start with inkwells and a quill, Tony?
Quills? They didn't trust us with those. We had slates and chalk.

Sorry, Tony, it was a rough translationIt's something like computer sciences, information technology, that sort of thing... like handling Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, SharePointDesigner, etc... knowing how a PC is built up, that sort of thing.

Really beautiful day out, a little cool but that's ok. Made for a great day to be out on the golf course volunteering for the chamber outing. Not playing golf! No one wants me playing golf. Just keeping track for the prizes. Got a free lunch and got out of there a little earlier than expected too.

I was so happy! Thursday and Friday I have my French and English oral exams, hope they'll go well, and the others I will have on the 27th - I'd better start studying

Well done mC
Of all the forces in the universe, the hardest to overcome is the force of habit. Gravity is easy-peasy by comparison.
