I’m really amazed at the coincidences that have occurred in this Bingo game…every one of them were genuine “rolls of the dice†without me helping them along

Today is no different….2 of our 3 are on opposite ends of the PC situation (I remember one old manager I had that wanted the company to buy ONLY Apple Computers…the rest of us wanted “clones†& that is what we went with…boy was he a sore loser!)
SURELY someone will be calling Bingo this morning? I’m actually going over to a friends to craft this morning (our ladies craft group isn’t meeting because of a Wedding in the church building) but she has internet access & I will make sure I monitor my PM’s for any “BINGO†calls that might come in.

3 Apple

Apple Inc., originally Apple Computer, Inc., is an American multinational corporation headquartered in Cupertino, California that designs, develops, and sells consumer electronics, computer software, and personal computers. The company was founded on April 1, 1976, and incorporated on January 3, 1977. The word "Computer" was removed from its name on January 9, 2007, to reflect its shifted focus towards consumer electronics. Its best-known hardware products are the Mac line of computers, the iPod, the iPhone and the iPad. Its software includes the OS X and iOS operating systems, the iTunes media browser, and the iLife and iWork creativity and production suites.
One of the BEST “product placements†I’ve ever seen was the use of “some fruit company†in Forest Gump, Forest is sharing at the bus stop how Lt. Dan had invested their Bubba Gump Shrimp Comp. monies in “some fruit company†meaning Apple Computer, Inc. That whole movie is really charming!
6 Bugs/Moth-1st Sept 1947 in the Harvard Mark II
I had gotten the date & story from Wikipedia, but can’t seem to find that exact page again. Here’s the story as I remember it. On that day (9/1/1947) the first “computer bug†occurred…turned out to be a MOTH that got zapped inside the Harvard Mark II. Today glitches in computing are still called “bugs†but I don’t think any insects/moths are involved anymore.
