Lol... A dear OLD (even older than myself lol) friend sent a short vid of his retirement center's cafeteria. Of yesterday, I believe. Or maybe Easter? No matter, his objective was to illustrate social distancing, masks, etc. I've been concerned about his safety in that facility.
Anyway, it was interesting to note the # of folks at their dinner tables focusing on devices with "Apple" symbol on back. Both hands & both eyes consumed with Apple operation while forks rested on plates with meals awaiting consumption. He can be heard teasing a fellow resident about the meal getting cold... Lol.
My friend's Bold is the ONLY BlackBerry he's aware of in that facility. He's still pretty proficient with it and detests the thought of an Apple dominated retirement once ATT kills off his beloved Bold...
I still collaborate with him to sanity check some kinematics on some projects. His eyes are very poor but his engineering mind is razor sharp. He manages to fire up and feed program cards into his old HP65 and get answers fast!
Sometimes during meetings! One particular meeting before others at the table were half done! All I had was a pencil on paper in right hand and Agent99 in left. A "maturing" old engineer sent by a client put his Apple down and asked how I got that answer so fast... I just smiled and showed him Agent99... Lol. Dunno if he ever "got it"... Lol.
I might represent a single seat at a meeting table but dozens of very sharp minds are readily available in my left hand. Thanks to Agent99. And my old but "athletic" thumb...
