#13 General Rant about Techie Stuff

As instructed, Oscar will now devote 150 words to this topic.
With regard to changing technology, the most useful techie thing that Oscar uses in his daily work is the scan/email facility. First, we had snail mail, so Oscar would post photocopies to customers (Oscar remembers first using a photocopier at High School. The copier had 2 sheets of paper and was a 3 step process. But I digress). Then we had the fax machine, so responses were much quicker, but still in print form. Now scanned pages from newspapers, etc can be emailed across the world in a few minutes. There's still a problem in producing a reasonably legible scan from microfilm, but at least the technology is a lot faster.
Oscar also likes igoogle, even though it can sometimes take a while to load, and crashes. It makes keeping up with Library websites a lot easier. Oscar's added a rain radar map and current temperature widget as well. And the way the colours change during the day is really pretty!
Oscar would LIKE to use Facebook, but his Nearest and Dearest have banned him from opening an account, on the grounds that there's stuff on THEIR Facebook accounts that could incriminate them. They know that Oscar isn't as cool as he pretends he is.
Have I got to 150 words yet?
