    • You are welcome! I am located in Plano, TX (i.e. the Northern Hemisphere), but I do try to remember and honor my brethren in the Southern Hemisphere!

      • Thank you so much! Mass is a rather interesting place. Harvard and MIT are obvious, but then there are DEC and Data General from the “old days” of computing along with Lovecraft setting his stories there and so forth….

      • I worked down on the floor on the line where these computers were built. They would go from section to section for different parts. They weren’t PC’s though they were tall chassis with a front door that opened and inside were the guts. These were for other businesses. Fascinating, we did have a lot of fun!! I was a secretary amongst all these techs, I loved that job. Thanks for sharing that!! 😊. Brings back great memories.

      • You were in the middle of it! Yes, I remember what those machines were like. To my knowledge, machines like that are not built any more. Even the supercomputers are built from smaller “nodes” (which are almost always Intel based, maybe something like four quad-core Intels on a board). For example: https://www.tacc.utexas.edu and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Advanced_Computing_Center (I am sure equivalent “centers” exist in your area, along with ORNL and the ones in California.)

      • I remember thinking back in the late 70’s / early 80’s that the machines of the future would be built of smaller, slower processors working together. And, that is exactly what has happened. I keep seeing the future, but not quite enough to make money from it. That can be rather frustrating.

      • Yes that is frustrating. When you see something in the future, try to see how to create it too. Keep it simple but one of those ” why didn’t I think of that” ideas. 😊

      • I had an idea on the way to work yesterday. For the last few years tags on clothing tops have really been irritating to my neck and back. I know alot of things come tagless now but there are still alot of tags. So I often snip them off but sometimes it’s not easy too or worse yet I cut a whole in the material. So on my to work the tag was irritating me and I thought, why not create a piece of silky smooth cloth that would just cling to the fabric, like static cling, it would be placed over the tag and stay there all day and then you just remove it when you take it off. Now to invent it!! And how many other people are bothered as I am…would it sell? But that’s one of those…why didn’t I think of that…ideas. Oh well!! 🙂

      • You will need to apply for a patent ASAP to protect your idea. (Contact a competent patent lawyer in your area!)

      • Sounds like something that would be sold on late night TV or as part of some kind of bundle. But, don’t take my word for it. Check with a patent guy.

      • Write an outline, write at least one ending (several is better), write a beginning, and make everything between fit.

      • If you use a Mac consider Omnioutline for the outline. You could also use Scrivener, a popular Writer’s tool available for both Mac and Windows.
