friday five

[anamacha]

hey all!  long time no see.

There's a list thingy on LJ called "the Friday Five."  Link available on request.  Even though for me it is not really Friday until Saturday rolls around (don't ask -- work schedule) I'll answer them this time.  I've been on with the thing for a while, but just haven't answered yet.  I have been Extremely Busy and Such

Hi, you answered my post on greatpoets. I came over and read some interesting things and I wanted to say hi! I thought I was the only person on the internet that knew of ancient times. I don't talk much on my account, I just save things and I spend time here on poetry sites. But if you ever want to talk of things past, I can relate. Glad to hear Shakespeare is worth the work!

excellent! glad to have you around, then. Please feel free to respond/comment on anything here that strikes your fancy -- I promise to not judge :)

What's your area of interest and/or specialty?

oh I'm a jack-of-all-trades. I knew punchcards before they had "chads.", just little paper tags hanging onto the backside. I've seen rooms of computers and the design age of "pizza boxes" luggables,portables, and binary math and Reverse Polish calcs. The only thing that remains the same is change, you know what I'm saying?

But deep down it is the same flowchart....it is all a yes or no question.

heh. you sound a lot like I am. And yeah, I know what you're saying, even though some of us fact it whilst kicking and screaming.

Anyway, I was wondering what your area of interest was in the aforementioned ancient times. Of course, we're talking about two levels of that right now: computer ancient times (10-20 years ago) and ancient ancient times i.e., those of Shakespeare. I'd assumed the latter. :)
