If you're even half-way old, you will remember when:

* Your computer's ready-mode was a black screen with a single cursor, and there was no such thing as Windows; there was just "DOS."

* There was this amazing new video game called "Pong" and you thought it had the most advanced graphics imaginable.

"The ministry of mercy, then, is the best advertising a church can have. It convinces a community that this church provides people with actions for their problems, not only talk. It shows the community that this church is compassionate."

- Garrison Keillor

Because the store charged $50 for such cleanings, he told him he might be better off reading the printer's manual and trying the job himself.

"Actually, it's my boss's idea," the employee replied sheepishly. "We usually make more money on repairs if we let people try to fix things themselves first."
