I have surprised many people when I say stuff like "why don't you go here or try this"... and they say "oh that could not be there or that won't work"...then low and behold it does!!!

On a game about 25 years ago  - the games were very basic then  - (I can't remember the name of the game) I suggested to a guy he jump in the moat around a castle - he told me that the character could not do that.

I took over and walked slowly around the whole moat. In one VERY small spot the character could jump in and swim, and I found a key hanging under the bridge. :-) HEE HEE

You definitely act like a teenager...LOOOOOL

    Well of course! :-) I am young in my heart! :-)

    What is really funny, was how old that game seems now, I had to use certain keys on the keyboard to move the little person. There was no mouse, and the little person could not really run or move real quick. OH how far games have come! LOL

    PS: I was just a farm girl with no TV. MY friend from school had CABLE, MTV, TWO computers, and a POOL! They had 4 TVs, and a MICROWAVE and Wet Bar in thier living room!!!

    It was like going to a resort when I spent the night there! That was my first experience with computers.

      That story will have to wait for another website.  ;)

      I do remember there was "ram" and "graphics" involved. :-)

      And I also recall the "Processing unit" was way too fast for the "motherboard" and "burned out" before the "software" could be "initialized". LOL  ;D


       ;) Ahh young computer Love. LOL

          Yeah, and at 40 with two children, it is nice to know I can still be part of someone's fantasy now and again.  

          Even though I know most men only dream about the North and South bridge! And not how to get the information from one to the other.

          Just keep in mind in that fantasy of yours, the south bridge is slower to react than the north bridge.    ;D :-*

            I hope you love it. I used to teach Business and the whole school system turned me off from teaching. I love to teach, but not under those conditions.

            I may teach at a community college one day. I think I would really like that.

            I teach at a high school in Southeast Asia, been here for 11 years. I also own a little computer shop since the school only requires my services for about half the day, 4 days a week. I love teaching here, the kids are fantastic.

            However, within a year, my teaching career will end and I will sell my computer shop. I'm returning to the USA and will open a computer shop there.
