I actually did what makes me the happiest today ~ I gave a new client the gift of technology

The client in question, is a down to earth businessmen, plying his trade as best he can.

Amazingly he managed until recently WITHOUT email, fax or a decent Internet connection
This was quite a difficult thing to get my head around – especially being a geek.

Still, after our little visit this afternoon they now have, secure wireless broadband, email to his own domain, fax and colour printing and a shiny new laptop to play with

We left him able to email all his contacts and send / receive the plans and orders he needs.
Yeah!

Just a quick note for the historians out there…
How long do you think this industry of ours has been going eh?
20 years?
30 years??
50 years!?

The truth is longer than we probably realise. Britain’s oldest original computer, the Harwell, is being sent to the National Museum of Computing at Bletchley where it is to be restored to working order. The computer, which was designed in 1949, first ran in 1951 and was designed to perform mathematical calculations; it lasted until 1973.

That they had a computer in 1951 is amazing to me – that’s nearly 60 years of computing :razz:

WOW!!!
