In the old days, before there was Facebook and Snapchat, people used to communicate via these things called "instant messengers". Yahoo Instant Messenger(Y!) and AOL Messenger(little walking guy) were some of the most popular along with ICQ and MSN Messenger. The buttons are links to directly message those users through those platforms.

This was like 10 years ago btw. Technology is advancing at breakneck speed. My boss just had a heart flutter fixed with a small device inserted up his leg through an artery all the way into the heart, where they located a killed a nerve which was causing the flutter using some sort of radio waves. Then he walked out a couple hours later with a bandaid on his leg.

I gotta get the same thing done. Glad to see it can be as easy as they claim.

Thanks everyone, good to be back

J-Mech is right, it was more like 15 years ago. Crazy how time flies. I feel old, and I'm just in my early 30s. There used to be a "generation gap" between father and son, now even I'm having a hard time relating to people just 6-7 years younger than me. I can only imagine the older folks looking upon the younger generation.

Cubby102, go in with confidence, they'll get you taken care of.

Back in the dark ages... sit down at the terminal, pick up the phone, dial into server, wait for beep, slam receiver into the boot, and log in. There were no cathode ray tubes. Continuous sheet printers, ticker tapes, and punch cards. BASIC, C, COBOL, FORTRAN...

My wife is 6 years younger than me..... I didn't think it was a big deal.... and it's not... but it is. So many things changed in the 6 short years between my high school graduation and hers. Funny thing is, it was at least 2X the change in those 6 years than in the 20 years between my parents graduation and mine. I honestly have an easier time relating to people 20 years older than me, than I do with people 6 and 7 years younger!

I get it man.... I really do. And it's frustrating.

Sorry to derail, but it really is amazing how fast technology has advanced in such a short time.

"In The Old Days"....LOLOL

When I was a kid my Mom ran a phone office in rural Saskatchewan, I used to work the switchboard after school to earn my allowance. Everyone had phones that hung on the wall with a crank handle which would connect them to the switchboard and we would then connect them to whoever they wanted to talk to using cables and plugs..... "Number Please"

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
