BAH, the whole card won't show unless you right click it and choose to view image!
It's not often you meet people you can relate to when your just going about your daily business. OK let me rephrase that... It's not often "I" meet people I can relate too! I know they want to keep a low profile online, and so they should it's a crazy world out there with every technology opening up new security risks. So I thought this would be a simple way to let them know that I am talking about them and not the chicken lady in that crappy hospital cafeteria...
Anyhow the point I was going to make about these cards is that I remember as a small boy my brother and I would hang around the computer shop of Calgary. It is claimed to have been the first computer store in North America selling personal computers and it still exists today but only virtually online. I remember the Texas instruments with it's clunky voice module, and the Atari ST's. And without a doubt my favorite computer of that era the Amiga... But going back further in time I also remember my brother would bring home stacks and stacks of these yellow programming cards.. I distinctly remember they had a smell to them... Not sure why but after they ran through a punch machine I think maybe they picked up the smell from the process or something. Anyhow They made great card houses... much better than a deck of playing cards and they were fantastic book markers :) what a strange memory this has brought back to me. I often associate my memory with some smell or sound, I guess it's just the way I have learned to store things away in my 3.5 pounds of mush...
Ta Ta for now... got a lot of work to do at home this weekend.. Maybe I'll connect up the web cam and broadcast the enormous task of reorganizing my home office in real time :)
BAH HUMBUG! I have "King of spain" floating around in my brain.. Damn you Moxy Fruvous...
Cheers!
