Cats and sunsets seem to be big here so here are mine. Above, She is an 18 pound Main ****, Lei Choi San. Named after "The Dragon Lady" of South China sea fame. Kind of fills my lap. Below is the view from my front porch on a particularly nice sunset.

These are a few of my car collection and my "Big Boomer". I could not figure out how to remove the duplicates, but I did figure out how they got there so in the future there will only be ONE of each

I am having a problem navigating this forum. I noted a picture of a sports car in one post and could not find where it was posted. I am a car nut with a big collection and was interested.

My introduction must begin with my first computer, the IBM 7070 in 1960. We programmed it with a 7 bit paper tape by pulling the tape thru the reader, no automation. I once programmed in 13 languages but no longer program. I came to android because it was based on Linux and I understood that.

Yes, and it shows only one input device, "Google Talk" keyboard and shows it as "automatic" and I dont have the ability to change it. It works but when I am in public I dont want to be talking out loud to input text...no privacy
