Tumbleweed Posted December 2, 2015 Share They still make those Red Devils... At first it was really weird to see things I have posted on social media recently coincidentally appearing here in various guises over the last couple of days. The word for this week has to be: happenstance. Like, wow.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbleweed Posted December 2, 2015 Share Thanks man, i learnt a new word: Capture1.PNG It's also one half of a comic book duo in the late '80s-early '90s. Kismet & Happenstance... They appeared in the short-lived Crisis comics - an offshoot of 2000AD - which were a bit too heavy for their time, and way too heavy for the government censor who often used to remove my copies from the Grahamstown CNA: Edited December 2, 2015 by Tumbleweed Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted December 2, 2015 Share ...and for those who forgot the 'awesome' quality on the transparencies...Up to 2004, the company I was with at the time used an overhead projector to show presentations at monthly management meetings. We used the colour laser copier to print our powerpoint "slides" and then project using the 80's icon. The FD figured it was cheaper than a modern day projector. It's fine when you're presenting static info, but when we did "what if" analysis on data it would be rendered useless. That's when he buckled under pressure to electronic.

Tumbleweed Posted December 3, 2015 Share We have 3 book exchanges here in our dorpie. We've found some gems there but mostly there are a lot of Mills and Boons[emoji30] Hahahaha! Occasionally there'll be a decent find, but people in my neighbourhood, well, their lips move when they read, so there's not a great selection. But it's next to the laundry I use, so no harm in spending a coupla rand. Gen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
