MY ROSEBUD MOMENT

in the movie citizen kane's last word was, rosebud, which was the name on his sled when he was a kid, presumably his happiest time.

my "rosebud" moment occurred in a dream the other night. although i'm still alive, i dreamed that i received a gift of an apple ii computer with disk drives. i owned an apple i in about 1980. this apparently was my "rosebud". in the dream i was very happy for this gift. i was only about 40 years old when i actually had my apple i. yes, apple i. dreams are not always totally true.

loved that machine. didn't get a new computer for about 10 years. wow i was really out of date.

in those days computers did not try to sell you stuff. now i can't escape the hucksters. i had to return a dell because i couldn't escape salesmen and ads.

in the good old days computers actually could do stuff.
