I hope Mr. Tubbs will be in some future shows.

"The April Fools" is one of my favorite songs of all time, and certainly my favorite Bacharach and David song.

I'll have to watch the videos later. I NEED to go to bed now. I have to be up and out the door by 7:15 a.m., because I'm going to the secretary/treasurer training for my union. It's being held in a hotel in SeaTac and I'm riding with a couple of other board members, so I can't be late. That'll go until 4:00 p.m. or so. After that, I'll go to my parents' for our weekly family dinner together, then to the theater!

Good night and have a good day, all!

Good morning, all.

Saturday! And at least a sunny day, if not very warm. Tomorrow and the next few days will definitely be feeling like spring, and it's about time.

I love early computer/internet history, too. It was a special time.

Will respond in full when I'm not pecking on the iPad.

TOD:
The first computer I used was a Radio Shack TRS80 (later called a Trash 80 because it was so lousy) in an office where I was working as a secretary. It didn't have a hard drive and they kept adding external 5 1/4" floppy disk drives to it as their database got bigger and bigger. They ended up with four floppy drives.
My first personal computer was an Acer. My dad tried to tell me I didn't need a hard drive - that a floppy disk (520k) has lots of space, but I was smart and didn't listen to him and got the 20 MB hard drive. There was no such thing as Windows then - just MS DOS.
My next computer at work was a "dumb" Hewlett Packard terminal that ran a program called HP Word, which wasn't bad. Then we all got personal computers and tried to learn Word Perfect and Lotus 1-2-3. The learning curve was very steep. There was still no Windows - everything was keystrokes, no mouse.
Then Microsoft came along and the whole world really changed.

After I posted last night, I read through my mail and other things I'd collected yesterday - CD booklets, the new issue of Gramophone, the Come From Away Playbill - and turned off the lights around 1:15. I slept until 10:30 when Joshie's phone call woke me.

We have to deal with Local 802 and payments for The New Yorkers. He's also juggling The Golden Apple and the April 18 IRS deadline. This morning he's assembling practice parts for some of the players before next Thursday's orchestra reading of the score.

I have no memory now of the first computer I used at the Drama Book Shop for ordering and receiving books. My first hoe computer was a Mac, a gift from the late Dale Kugel, librarian for Tams-Witmark. I needed one in 2001 for the Packard Humanities Institute project and Dale needed a ew one, so he gave me his old Mac, with Finale installed, and my first session with a Mac Mechanic for my birthday in September 2001.

TOD: Since I co-majored in computer science, my first computer experiences back in the 1970's were having to type out the computer program line-by-line on what were called "punch cards." We handed them in at the school's computer center and they checked if our computer program was working properly.

I think the first time I got to use an actual computer terminal in school was not until my last year of college in 1979. There was a computer center on 57th and 11th Avenue, where us programming fanatics could stay until all hours doing our assignments. (Since I happened to have a job then on East 57th Street, it was easy to go there after work.)
