My computers now have many times the capability at a small fraction of the cost. I disagree that someone who is not computer literate is obsolete. I've met some of your council members but don't know the alderman in question but someone can be a great alderman despite not understanding computers. I'm a financial planner and I use computers all the time but I know colleagues who are great at what they do but don't understand computers.
Fredr, I'll get the information you asked for. |
Sorry bro! Your post made it sound like you and your peers had in fact at age 50-60+ learned the ins and outs of computers as a part of your Alderman job.
I remember being in kindergarten with a 286 with 2mb of Ram, 40mb hard drive, PC Tools, and a 2400-baud modem. Cost $3000.
