I was thinking what the the tool what I use in my PC. And the conclusion is http://www.getright.com/[^] I have changed Windows versions, tools, needs, internet connection but I have always used GetRight. What is the oldest tool what you still use?
Engaged in learning of English grammar ;)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.(John 3:16) :badger:Rock when I can't find a Hammer. Hamme when I can't find my Sword Sword when I can't find my Bow Bow when I can't find my gun. (And this is true. Deer hit me the other day and I didn't have my gun in my trunk so I lookd for my hunting bow, that wasn't there, and my sword/boui knife wasn't in my car either... so I took my hammer out, but the handle was broken so I used a rock to kill the deer so it wouldn't suffer... pretty funny when you think of it haha). oh.. For computers? notepad.

I don't chew pencils but for some reason I chew pens. Leaving the office at 5 with ink all over your face and hands isn't very professional.

I thought about saying that, but figured I had teased too much today. :) glad you took the job. :laugh:

I like EDTs keystoke journaling (easy to recover edits in case of a system crash) and it has a very good MACRO capability. I implemented a version of TECO that ran on a Motorola 6809 (Smoke Signal Broadcasting - updated version of this[^]) system back in the 1970s. Application took 12Kb which left about 20Kb for text. I also wrote a version of RUNOFF (grandfather of Word Processors) for the unit. Ah, the good old days when an extra BYTE was worth its weight in gold... Steve
