How many times in say the last 20 or 30 years have you bought the latest and greatest bit of tech or the newest version of software that within 6-12 months it had been replaced by something new and shiny that was supposed to be even better than the previous one?
It is a continuing evolving upward trend. I would hate to add up the cost of the computing devices large and small I've spent money on in the last 40 years, starting with an Acorn Atom in 1980, which I built from a kit, up to my latest acquisition a new Apple iMac, they are leagues apart!
Every 'new' development involves learning new software or how to do things.... A Filofax you just pick it up and use it... it has not changed in nearly 100 years!
As it is Friday of course you can discuss anything ring bound related.... enjoy your weekend.
I'm in total agreement Steve. Mine was an Atari 800. I was able to type my college papers on it and print them on my Gorrilla Banana printer that didn't have lower case decenders. Fortunately my professors accepted them.

I agree Steve totally, but I also get the twitchies for shiny new binders or new sizes to try out to find the perfect ones. This works out as expensive too, but not half as expensive as new tech and anti virus protection and new software if needed of course, and I would say, much more exciting, plus my Filofax or VDS does not crash or chug to load on up either!! xx
