Speaking Ancient Geek*
Greetings, Reader!
I got so many responses to last Sunday's request for antique tech stories, and I have loved reading all of them. Y'all have a lot of fascinating stories about tech from as far back as the '50s. I got everything from tales about the Lisa and the PalmPilot to misadventures in teaching with the early internet and receiving fried chicken as payment for helping a computer-store owner in the '70s. I'm really impressed by how many of you remember the exact model of the first computer you ever used!
I loved reading these stories (and sharing them with my coworkers), and I wish I could use all of them for my upcoming article on our history with technology. Sadly, our managing editor has denied me the 50 pages I requested for this story. That said, I will be reaching out to some of you to request permission to use your stories in our magazine.
What's that? You're actually here to talk about Daily Tips? Oh, that's right. I hope you enjoyed last week's tips on declining calls and using Orientation Lock, among others. This week, we'll show you how to use your Apple Watch as a navigation tool, how to connect to the internet even when you don't have a Wi-Fi connection, and much more. I'll see you next week (if I can tear myself away from playing The Oregon Trail on my Apple II).
*Shout out to James Prevo, whose email subject line, "I Speak Ancient Geek," was too good for me to pass up.
