I believe if one day computers just go away people would behave as if it was the apocalypse. :o

Good morning all... :)

This is what would happen here in my little corner of the colony.   ;)

-I would dance a jig (Dance a quick dance with leaping and kicking motions)
-I would consume several fine bottles of scotch
-I would fire off the old "Brown Bess" many times probably scaring most of the wild life for miles around
-I would carry the old girl out to the garden and kiss and hug her, waltz her around and sing to her one of my versions of "Bless em All"
-I would sit in my rocking chair and ask the old girl to give me a push as by now I would be pooped out    ;D

Well you get the picture... ;)

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

...I don't think the world would end, but become an inconvenience.
The world's always been an inconvenience, with or without computers...
there'd be no need for inventions, otherwise.


There are still plenty of us who have embraced (to some extent) the microprocessor and all its spawn, but still remember how to live well with nothing more advanced than an IBM ball-head electric typewriter. We're
not all dead... yet.
IBM ball-head electric typewriter? Somewhere, I think I have a slide rule...

Its really scary thinking about how people say the internet is starting to get full!
That's because humans, in general, tend to make sure everything we do is full of it...

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
