(13,453 posts)sometime in the '70s I visiting some college friends. She was a bank something or another and pulled out a suitcase and put the phone receiver into a rubber connection and after a bunch of dialing got into the the banks computer system. We were watching awed by the TV screen with green or orange characters that meant nothing to us. Things have changed so fast. Now I have more power on my phone than I did in in the late 1990s on my desk top. Probably more than how NASA got the moon on.
Wow, just wow.
