I bet there are a few people out there who want a computer, but the price tag is just a little bit too high. You hear about them, see them in Wal-Mart for around a thousand dollars and maybe see advertisements for complete systems that cost between two and three thousand for a complete home setup. Maybe someone has mentioned to you that you can get one a lot cheaper, but where is this low cost computer? You have never seen one in a store around here with this cheap a price, so is someone pulling your leg?

The smell of grilling hamburgers was drifting along Main Street in Kerens last Saturday and for those of you who were there, wasn’t it great? Courtesy of the Kerens Ex-Students Association, there were French fries, burgers and home made cakes available for all and many stuffed people were seen leaning back in their chairs sharing the gossip of the day. This lunch was originally scheduled to be held at the Garden Park but was moved to the Kerens Volunteer Fire Station for fear of rain on Saturday. Where else but in small town America can the city Fire Station be a central location of community activities? It could not be better.

Let’s go exploring this week and visit a few places we possibly have never been before. Put on your safari jacket, pour yourself a cup of coffee and let’s look at some of the places on the Internet that offer more than what you can find in your newspaper (except for the Kerens Tribune) or your local dollar store (even though Bill’s has quite an inventory of interesting items.) We cannot touch on many today, but stay tuned because more are on the way.

Right now as you are relaxing and reading the Kerens Tribune, there is an immense battle raging all around us with volleys being fired almost everyday. The first technological war of the 21st century is one being fought even more intensely than when we first began to see computers being built for the home. In fact, there is no comparison; this is the big one and wildly interesting to watch as the various strategies by each competitor are being unveiled.

Okay, how about starting an argument today with something wildly controversial? Any column can be ordinary, right? Let’s see, whom would be interesting to argue with today? Hmmmm. How about the Kerens Literary Club? I know they are bound to be opinionated, especially about Literature, so let’s see what we can get started.

I just finished reading the Kerens Tribune from last week and you know what? This was one of the finest most enjoyable issues of the paper I have read in several moons now. It really looked great from a layout and appearance point of view and the content was right in the heart of the city. It just plain made a person proud, Kerens Proud, to be a part of this newspaper and the city it represents. The Tribune Staff has been doing an outstanding job this year of promoting the volunteer efforts going on around Kerens, and maybe sometimes we neglect to tell the staff what a fine professional job they put forth for all of us to read and enjoy.

Did you know the most prolific virus in history was rampaging around the world last week? And what is even more interesting, did you know the name of this virus is the “I Love You” virus? The world gets stranger every day and you just do not know what is going to happen during the week right front of you.

This past weekend the concrete foundation of the Kerens Alumni Center was cleaned and prepared for the next stage of construction. The Kerens Volunteer Fire Department sent a truck and hosed down the slab until it was a sparkling bright Bobcat green. It sure looked nice. The wall and roof structure are complete and the materials to begin the roof and wall covering are on the way. Just a few more weeks now and we will be locking it up at night and preparing for “Home Coming 2000.” I suspect this is going to be one of our greatest “Home Comings” ever, so get ready. It will be here before you know it.

I had my first meal at the new “Double D Cafe” in Kerens this past Saturday morning and it was great. Aside from the scrambled eggs being just right, it just plain felt good to be able to sit down in a new eating establishment in Kerens once again and be able to order breakfast from a menu. The new manager, Renea Goetz, was kind enough to let me keep one of the new menu’s and it will be published at Kerens.Com real soon. Has anyone noticed the small print at the bottom of the menu that says: “For complaints, write complaint on a $5 dollar bill. Owner guarantees to handle all complaints?” That was great, but I did not complain about anything. The meal was fine and I got to keep my five dollars in my pocket. Now this is innovation in restaurant management at it’s finest. No doubt about it.

Thomas writes "An interesting event occurred in the computer world this week that you may not have noticed. The longest running mainstream consumer computer magazine “PC Magazine” changed it’s name to “Smart Business” and is now focused on business technology. This magazine was a favorite of mine and I actually have the first twelve issues boxed up and stored as a collectors item. It is interesting to browse through them from time to time and see the expensive 80K disk drives being offered for sale at a higher price than our 20 gigabyte drives are being sold for today. So anyway, PC Magazine changed direction to a business focus and what does this tell you?"
|
Thomas writes "Time again to take a break from the Internet so I can give everyone a birds eye view of this past weekend and what great events are going on in Kerens.
This was another smiley face day in Kerens with activities going on everywhere in downtown. If you were not there, you just don’t know what kind of small town fun you just missed. People everywhere, the sounds of construction, a pretty day with springtime in the air, cookies and cakes in the Garden Park and all of the smiles that make Kerens an icon of hometown USA."

Thomas writes "How does the Internet work?
Now here is a really good question that your very own editor, Neal Williams, once asked me. To tell you the truth, when he first asked, I was really stumped. In the world I live in at Texas Instruments, the Internet is just taken for granted and no one ever thinks twice about it. As long as it has been in existence, we have made use of it in various projects. Early on we used it for research, and later for internal development activities. Anyway, never heard this question before and it really caused a flurry of head scratching. Now the real question is how it can be answered within the confines of this column. Lets see what we can do."

Thomas writes "Okay, lets get back to work now and continue exploring the intricacies of email. I know that two or three columns have been devoted to this topic, but this is the core of the communication tools available via the Internet and fundamental to you moving forward in the Information Age."
|
|
Thomas writes "Normally this column is filled with Internet related technology, sometimes interrupted by outbursts from our hard working staff, but this time I just have to tell you about a weekend I spent in Kerens a few days ago. I know, you had rather hear from Professor Bones, Mr. Krazit, The Duke, The Kerens Blonde and all those other oddities concerning bits and bytes…..just put your computer away for a minute and listen to this."
|
|
Thomas writes "With this next part of the email series, I want to talk about your cyberspace address. Your address for receiving email is just as important as your phone number for communications purposes in the information age you are wading through right now, no doubt about it. If people lose your email address or write it down wrong, then it is all the way back to the telephone, or even snail mail. Now that is really bad."
