Olden Days

 When I was a kid, my father showed me how to solve logic elimination puzzle books. They were magazines filled with puzzles where you had to eliminate all the outcomes until you're left with the truth. Soon after that Sudoku became popular, but I still prefer logic elimination puzzles. 

You know you're getting old when you talk about the olden days. I tell all my nephews and nieces about the olden days, when domestic internet didn't exist. The olden days, when connecting to the internet was about your computer making a temporary dial up connection long enough to download the page and then stop, the olden days, no wifi, no social media, no streaming. Lots of small talk. 


Those were the days. There were computer games that were text based. There still is. You go on a quest in a little text based world. People still make them. Some of them are really interesting. The good thing about text based computer games is they work well on all platforms. You use your imagination and add the graphics in your head, but some of the text based games have still-graphics so you don't need to use your imagination so much. You just see a picture.
