Wednesday

I loaded Firefox 3. It's going to take some time for some of my extensions to update to this version, but most of my favorites are available. Sage needed a lot of work, but that's done and I have my RS Feeds available. The early review is it's very good, fast, lightweight and just as adaptable as ever.

How ever did we live in the days before mass media? I can't say, but I'll bet a lot of thought went into how we could get to where we are today. Two things I remember that I couldn't wrap my head around at the time, but make perfect sense now: cell phones and the internet. Yeah, I know cell phones were obvious, but I remember when it took months and lots of paperwork before the FCC would grant a mobile telephone for an automobile. The internet was a wonder because at the time personal computers were in the $3,000 range and nobody that I knew had one.
