Everything Computers Bingo…not *really* everything…there’s so much that could be covered. I’ve picked my brain & come up with the following 30 items. Some of them are far off in the peripherals of computing (such as the historical Abacus) and some more of the Sci-Fi come to real life (Star Trek inspired inventions) I’m hoping to learn some things myself (the research for this was a lot of fun & I tried not to peek too far ahead!)
Same old rules: PM me with your pick of 10 out of the 30. We’ll leave sign up open until October 15th (that’s 2 full weeks). I’ll post the first set of numbers on Oct. 16 by noon EST (& plan on always having the numbers up by noon EST). The first one to PM me with their BINGO call, wins.
I’m sorry, but I cannot award any kind of a computer to the winner, it will be a “Stitchy-prize” but I’m sure the winner will enjoy it!
