This morning I was flipping thru the channels on TV and found an old re-run of Ozzie and Harriet.  That was really strange  for many reasons....first it was in black and white....We are so spoiled to seeing everything in living color.  And every single person there....Ozzie and Harriet and even little Ricky..are dead now..  that was upsetting.  The story line was funny......even funnier now that we do everything on the computer./....Evidently Ozzie was the treasurer for his lodge....and he was trying to get his monthly report done.....with a paper ledger and an ink pen and a mechanical crank style adding machine.  Ricky wanted to use the machine to do his math homework...and of course he got told that machines cannot teach you anything....hmmm......then Ozzie was finished with his report and a friend dropped by to pay his lodge dues.......which meant Ozzie had to do the whole thing OVER again...in ink.........Then naturally when he was just finishing up...........another lodge member came by to do the same thing......Ozzie was ready to pull his hair out................and now?  All he would do is pull up the file and change a few numbers and reprint it.....5 mins tops!.......
So.........the next time I curse at my computer.......maybe I will think about poor old Ozzie and his crank style adding machine that was the hottest thing back then.......and maybe it will make me smile.......
