Here's the rules:
1) 100 words or 1 graphic.

It's that easy.
There is no need for your work to all connect. There is no need for them to be in order.

If you are stuck or would like a random word to use, poke me and I will provide.


Now everyone tell me about

It's not easy being forgotten. You wonder if anyone remembers you exist. I used to be part of the gang. My co-workers looked to me because I was reliable. I guess once you hit 60, you're a relic. Yep, I saw a lot of styles come and go in all those decades. From white, short-sleeved shirts to dudes with beards! And women too! I guess I couldn’t keep up with those newer models even though I worked just fine—just a little more slowly of course!

Hey! This guy is really excited to see me. A lot of people are excited to see me—why, I feel brand new again! Yep, let me tell you all about computing back when I was launched in 1959…

LOL we saw it in person when we visited the Computer History Museum :-D
