      What Seagoon sed.

      Akshully, a non-computer weekend could be a blessing. Time to audit all your equipment, work out what’s still functional and what’s not, and deal with both accordingly. Because you have the time to do so without being in a hurry to get things up and running.

      Take three deep breaths, assume the lotus position and then apply dencorub to the bits that hurt.

      I remember when I didn’t have a computer. Used to do more work around the house, but not much more. Read a lot of books. Went out on day trips/hiking. Saw friends and family. Did hobby activities like gardening or knitting. Watched tv or listened to cds.

      I don’t use computers (except my phone of course) so it’s pretty much status quo. MissGod is taking me to see the new horror/ thriller Longlegs, and then I imagine we will grab an early dinner afterwards.

        Interesting 🤔 then how do you play computer games and watch Netflix and Twitch?

        Longlegs looks awesome. Maybe I’ll go see that today too

          In the late 70s we had chess on one of our super fancy Texas Instruments scientific calculator. Hooked up Pong to an old B & W tv.

          We messed around with L33T on our calculators and digital watches. 🤭
