well, I'd like to see the first one they launched! I was going through some old info I had and came across the first computer... it took up one whole room! Now we have desk tops! So, if I can use that as a comparison then I bet the first was 4 times larger than Nim 5! LOL I love technology!

yes back when i was in Elementry school and my bro was in high school they came out with internet,,, had to put the phone reciever into a special holder and it would make all kinds of noise's...times sure have come a long way in the last 30 years

She'll probably think her grandma is weird later but who knows... maybe she'll take after me and think it's pretty kewl!

You guys always know how to charm a girl! Send her a satelite and it just thrills the heck outta her! LOL Thanks, Putski!

Thank you so much for the satelite website! That is so interesting! I think I've looked at just about all the satelites they have listed! I do have a quesiton... I heard that the GPS satelite that was originally set for the government military, is slowly drifting out into space and they are not going to try to recover it. A guy was telling me that when that happens our GPS system wouldn't be any good any longer. It seems that it would be better to just send another satelite up to take it's place? What happens in this case? Or just how true is this guy's statement?
