Think of it as a blog.

It's from the term 'weblog', as in web-log. That they're often seen as cronological had nothing to do with the terminology. |

Explain to me the difference between a "Blog" and a Website.
Nothing and everything. A website may be a collection of web pages about anything. Database, catalog, directory, index, or whatever. A weblog is usually a list of items tracked by a person over the course of time, posted onto a web server and thus seen as a website. A blog exists only as (part of) a website, but a website may have many pages and none of them a weblog. |

A blog exists only as (part of) a website, but a website may have many pages and none of them a weblog. That doesnt make any sense at all. I had a website (which is now off but will be coming back) that had 12 different pages where I discussed what I had learned about several subjects and gave instructions on how to do or accomplish several different things that I was interested in. Was this a "Blog" or a website. It was a web site where I discussed my 71 years of experience. It wasnt a "Blog" or a "Blob", or a ""West (Newspeak for Web Site) I have been on the internet since the days when it was black and white, text only. All I see here is what I call "Newspeak language inflation." People make up new terms to replace old ones just to be doing something because they lack a life outside of making up words. Like "issues" to replace "problems." Its just a euphemism to make problems seem like something else. What the hell, we are not talking about magazines here, we are talking about PROBLEMS. Problems can be solved, but issues can only be read and thrown away. |

I have been on the internet since the days when it was black and white, text only. Gee, then you're a newbie. Most early screens weren't black and white (plasma, amber, green, etc) People make up new terms to replace old ones just to be doing something because they lack a life outside of making up words.

I went with the first IBM PC, the 8088, 64k mem, single floppy deal. Tricked it all out a bit later, so it was a hot rod. Heh. Think I paid 2700 bucks for the barebones. The IBM monitor was the green. Clones were coming with amber monitors, and to my eyes they were "tacky." Never told anybody that until now. --Vic |

That amber monitor only came with the Cadillacs of the 5150's! The amber was a lot easier on the eyes for extended use. And with that, the Hercules graphic card, and a second floppy drive I was the King of WordStar for a long time. Maybe the IBM had better text resolution, at least to my eyes. Every amber monitor I saw looked "fuzzy' to me. I was only a mere Chief Petty Officer but I had figured out how to use WordStar on a dual floppy PC and even the officers came to sip at the font of knowledge... Well Chief, I'd expect you'd spend your time in the Chiefs lounge gabbing with your mates and having a "secret" beer instead of f**king around on a PC. That's what my Chiefs did, anyway. I bet you weren't a BTC. (-: And I thinking you might have had 640k of RAM? I don't think you could run a floppy disk on a 64k 5150. Maybe though. Nah. Floppy drivers are hard wired I think. I still use one for any of my Ghosting, as I don't even have to think about drivers I seem to remember the PC I bought having 32k standard, and had them add another 32k for maybe over a hundred bucks extra. Later, when I had the money, I added an AST 6-pack to max the memory, and set up a virtual drive. Still later I got one of those 500 buck 20 meg Winchester hard drives. I never worried about graphics cards until I started gaming, since I was mostly programming on that old PC. http://oldcomputers.net/ibm5150.html Good link --Vic |

Shucks, you guys are young folks and johnny come latelys. I started with an
LGP30 in 1968. The monitor was real easy on the eyes because there wasn't one. The paper tape wasn't too bad most of the time. unfortunately when one of the tubes went it tended to mess up the operation of the computer. The 2K of memory filled pretty fast but since everything was written in assembly language programs tended to be pretty compact (unlike some software that has been developed recently by some unnamed large firms). The draw back of this system was that while it could be used on board a boat you would need a good size cabin with air conditioning to be able to use it. Ah yes, those were the days-----well maybe not. Brian "Jack Erbes" wrote in message ... Vic Smith wrote: snip I went with the first IBM PC, the 8088, 64k mem, single floppy deal.
