OT, but talking about “tech” stuff: I have a few nephews/nieces who saw our old record player and had no idea how to put a record on a where to put the needle. They thought maybe they should put the needle at the center by the hole, not on the outer edge. We all had a big laugh about it. I can see how these boys don't know about dialing a rotary phone. They've never seen one. They didn't even know you had to listen for a dial tone first. I imagine that fifty years from now, kids will wonder how people used those "old-fashioned" cell phones and laptops, etc. Time marches on.

My husband still compares his cell phone to a Star Trek communicator, or whatever they called those devices. I remember when fax machines were first becoming standard office equipment, and the many offices which actually put on letterhead that "we shut off the fax at 3pm on Fridays." And now I get email notification around the clock (24/7) from work and court electronic filings.

OT, but talking about “tech” stuff: This is so funny! I think I had that exact phone as well. I am old enough to have started my music collection with vinyl, then 8-track, then cassettes, then cd's, then streaming, and now back to 180 gram vinyl. I hope Adam will give us vinyl for his new music.

I'm usually productive after midnight (contractor) and I'd like it to go out the next morning. Some of the people I send to have to be available round the clock during parts of the year and what I'm sending really doesn't need to wake them up.

The one I use for work has a Delay Delivery button on New email message , then Options menu. You can schedule when it sends, sits in your Outbox until time.

I can't find it in Office365ONLINE (required for work) , I can't sync it to my regular desktop outlook because I still have Office 2007. In 12 years I haven't seen a reason to move up that's bigger than delay delivery. Was it 2009 that had "the ribbon" in Office? I think I had that for a while and then never reinstalled it when I had to change computers. I have hooked up email (gmail and the online office) to my phone which I'm finding handy but I'm still mostly a dinosaur. Adam's Instagram chat was hard because it was phone only. I did count it as a work based learning opportunity.
