"COMPUTERS"
« Thread Started on Mar 28, 2009, 7:58pm »

I shall try to make this short and .......well, I will try. In this day and age, computers have arrived! The speed, accuracy, and good & bad of the information age is upon us. As you read this, you are getting something that no generation before has gotten. For us to call somebody on the phone, or mail a letter or flyer, time is of the essence of un-time. [Or non-time, whatever.] Someone can call 50 people, and if it takes 5 minutes to call, say what you need to say, and to be done, would take 4 hours and 10 minutes, or so. To mail these same 50 would take the time to print or write what you want, stuff 50 envelopes, $23 worth of stamps, and 3 days later....you get my drift, as quick as I have typed this posting, over 50 people could have been sent an email and notified as soon as they get it, which would be within minutes. Then there are these websites, tons of valuable information, right at hand. WE NEED TO START TO USE THIS THING, WE NEED TO TELL OTHERS OF ITS NEED, WE NEED TO HELP THOSE WHO ARE NOT INTO COMPUTERS TO TRY TO GET INTO COMPUTERS. THE EASE OF LEARNING THESE THINGS IS NOT EASY, BUT IT IS BECOMING A NECESSITY IF WE ARE GOING TO IMPROVE OUR LOT IN THE BIKER RIGHTS MOVEMENT. THE ABILITIES I HAVE DEVELOPED ARE NOT GREAT, JUST SUFFICIENT TO GET BY, BUT I INTEND TO LEARN A WHOLE LOT MORE AS TIME PERMITS. BEFORE MY SON GOT KILLED IN 2002, I DIDN'T KNOW SQUAT. HE DID ALL OF IT FOR ME, IF I NEEDED TO DO ANYTHING. I ONLY KNEW HOW TO READ MY EMAILS. I HAD TO GET INTO THIS TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT MY SON AND HIS FRIENDS WHO WERE OUT THERE AND DIDN'T KNOW THAT HE HAD HAD A WRECK AND PASSED AWAY. I LEARNED IN SORT OF A LEFT HANDED WAY, LEARNED ALL THAT I COULD TO KEEP THIS THING FROM OVERWHELMING ME, AND LEARNED A FEW NEW WAYS TO CUSS ALONG THE WAY. IT HAS BEEN AN AMAZING JOURNEY.....FOR A COUPLE OF HUNDRED DOLLARS YOU CAN PLUG AN ELECTRIC GUITAR INTO AN INTERFACE, PUT IN A SOFTWARE CD, AND MAKE ANY ELECTRIC GUITAR SOUND LIKE ANY GUITAR OR AMP SYSTEM MADE. I AM LOOKING NOW AT SOFT-WARE TO MAKE A CD ALBUM OF ALL OF MY SONGS. WHO WOULDA KNEW? I HAVE SAID IT BEFORE, AND I WILL SAY IT AGAIN, THE COMPUTER IS ONE OF, OR COULD BE ONE OF, OUR SHARPEST WEAPONS IN OUR BIKER RIGHTS MOVEMENT.......WE GOT TO USE IT OR GET BEAT DOWN BY NOT USING IT. THE MORE YOU KNOW, THE BETTER IT GETS........................RP 574-702-0702

I posted the previous posting last night.....at the meeting yesterday, a lot of the 15 folks there hadn't realized my emphatic hysteria at what is available out there in "cyberspace". Some acted like they can't learn how to use these things.....that is bull.......no excuses for saying that they can't learn how to help themselves to the freedom of information that is right here with a couple of hundred dollar machine hooked up to the internet. Hell, you can get a cell phone now to receive emails and surf the web. Like I said, you can use it, or you can lose it. Everybody who would have us wearing helmets and riding with stock pipes as a mandatory law are using them against us......need I say more? ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO LEARN HOW TO USE A COMPUTER CAN GO TO YOUR LIBRARY AND GET A BOOK, AND, SURELY, SOMEBODY THERE WILL SHOW THEM HOW TO LOG ONTO A HOTMAIL ACCOUNT TO RECEIVE EMAILS, ETC. THERE ARE COURSES AT CERTAIN LOCATIONS, ON THE WEB, AND THERE ARE YOUR FRIENDS WHO ALREADY USE THEM. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SHOW ANYBODY HOW TO GET STARTED, AS I AM SURE SOME OF THE OTHER ABATE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO USE THESE MACHINES WOULD. FOR SOME OF US, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO GET INFO OUT TO THOSE WHO NEED TO BE INFORMED, EDUCATION, NOT LEGISLATION IS OUR MOTTO, SO WHO WILL BE THE NEXT "NEWBIE" TO GET www-ed? RP 574-702-0702

Well said RP. I wish I had been at that meeting now. I'll definitely be at the next one.
