I've been using computers since the 1980s and have been on Usenet

I am on a mobile gizmo now so that might have given me some problems
getting that function to work.

With 45 years of computer experience, Dockery should be able to get a
good job in that field. He must know all the computer languages and
be a programming expert. Could you give him a preliminary test to
assess his skills, since he seemingly doesn't know how to get a
message ID or find Clipboard. It could be that he still has a
Commodore 64. Or no computer at all.

That would be 1980 and computers that existed in a home were hideously expensive. I had to look this up but Commodore 64 computers were like
300 bucks. In 1980 the Dreckweasel would be about 22, so he would have
dropped out of high school already. 300 bucks would be about 4 week's
wages for Dreckster.

I'm sure Dreckster could play a mean game of pong.

Verdict: Not a chance. FAIL.

The first real computer I owned was one of the little Apple personal computers, which I bought in 1985 or 1986, after working at the mill
for a couple of years and the money was actually pretty good,
relatively.

I'm sure 150 a week is a lot of money for the Dreckweasel now.

These little computers were later called "Apple Classic" models, very
cool computers for the era

I had a "Quark Express" program on it, lived that little machine,
which I laid out dozens of poetry chapbooks, mini comix and zines on.

Unfortunately, this little computer finally died around 2000 or 2001,
sadly.

And so it goes.

Your math skills suck. 1985 was 40 years ago.

How much did you spend for the computer again?

FAIL.

How long have you been using computers, Nancy Gene?

It seems anyone who has been alive for the past 45 years should have had computer experience.

Post-editing someone's statement before replying to it is a sure sign
that you have already lost the argument.

Post-editing someone xxxxxxxxxx xxxxx xxxxx

I'll remember that the next time you post edit me, Pendragon.

I've no need to post-edit you, Donkey:

DONKEY: Actually, Zod isn't dead, Cujo.

CUJO: He is from the neck up.

DONKEY: That's debatable.
