1. What was the best thing you have ever bought?
A. The best thing I ever bought was a computer. And the first computer I bought myself was a Commodore 64, followed by a Radio Shack Tandy computer. I actually started out on a Commodore Vic 20, but my mother bought that. I was still in high school.
2. What was the best book you have ever read?
A. I don't know what book I would consider "the best" book I've ever read. I've read a lot of books I've enjoyed, some that were well written but incredibly boring, and others that felt like guilty pleasures. I'm a very eclectic reader. So far this year, I've read books by C. J. Archer, Harper Lee, Debbie Macomber, Janet Evanovich, S.A. Chakraborty, Stuart Woods, and Louise Penny.
3. What is the best trip/vacation/holiday you've ever had?
A. One of the best vacations my husband and I went on was a trip to Charlottesville, where we toured Monticello and the University of Virginia campus, and just had a really nice weekend looking at historical things and shopping around downtown.
4. What was the best movie or TV series you've ever watched?
A. The best movie(s) are The Lord of the Rings trilogy, all three are very good. The best TV series is harder to answer. I thought Cagney & Lacey was an excellent series, but then Hacks is good, and so is Downton Abbey and The Big Bang Theory. And of course, there is MASH and The West Wing. I'm not sure I can pick just one.
These questions came from the Tuesday 4 meme.
You sure had a lot of the earlier computers. I was so scared when I saw the computer mainframes when I visited University of Irvine in Orange Country CA. I took my first computer class the summer of 1987. I got a job in the Marketing Department because of the class I took. I didn't get my first computer until 1990 and I think it was an Acer from Costco's. I have read several of Debbie Macomber books. I have never read Lord of the Rings.
ReplyDeleteCommodore 64 and a Radio Shack Tandy....talk about a blast from the past! My son actually managed a Radio Shack right after he finished at Pittsburgh Technical Institute. He was always really good at techy stuff, but it was, unfortunately, near the end for Radio Shack.
