We were the first on our block to get Atari, and we brought it with us when we went to visit my grandparents. My grandfather wanted nothing to do with it, though I couldn't quite understand why. He must have been into tech as well -- he was a flight engineer flying B-24s for the RAF before even the American forces had them. But I think we all reach a point where we decide to get off the merry-go-round and say "enough, what I have now is all I need..." Then again, maybe shooting down cartoon planes on a TV screen when you were once shot at yourself doesn't hold the same appeal. Alls I know is that I'm starting to feel the allure of stepping off the ride myself. And I'm not happy about that. ~Graham <em>Graham Strong's last blog post..<a href='http://www.grahamstrong.com/blog/where-web-designers-and-designees-can-go-for-inspiration/'>Where Web Designers (and Designees) Can Go For Inspiration</a></em> My father used to be into tech, but now he’s into practicality and the “tried and true” rather than the “next greatest thing”.
