[QUOTE="504RP, post: 1633771, member: 40335"] Ok thank you for all of your help. You know i am 59 years old. I can remember when i was about 6 years old they were building interstate 40 through NorthWest Arkansas. Around that time i remember going with my father who was a concrete finisher late during the evening so that he could wet down burlap material that was used to cover up big concrete pours. He done that to cool the new pours down to keep the concrete from cracking. So the Arkansas river navigation system was just being put in at that time. And about the time all of this was going on. I guess i was around 8 years old i watched live on a black and white screen TV the first man walk on the moon. When i was in my early twenties i went to trade school and took a two year course in electronics. They taught analogue and digital electronics. During my second year the school got its first computer. Its only purpose was i guess for amusement. Any student who would want to mess with it could.
