<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 8084900, member: 100459&quot;]I didn&#039;t lose any of my coins, but they were &quot;stolen&quot;.&nbsp; In 1995, after 27 years of marriage with 3 grown children, my wife decided that she wanted to marry her high school boyfriend.&nbsp; I moved out 2 days later.&nbsp; When I went back to our house, I found that she had changed the lock.&nbsp; When I finally got up with her, she told me that because I had left them, that I didn&#039;t want them.&nbsp; Ouch!&nbsp; Most of the coins were from foreign countries that I had lived in from my youth.</p><p>I started working with computers in 1982.&nbsp; My first computer was an Osborne 1.&nbsp; It looked like a sewing machine.&nbsp; The keyboard was on the bottom and it was opened up to use the keyboard.&nbsp; There was a 4-5 inch monochrome screen, and a &quot;real&quot; floppy disk 7-8&quot; drive.&nbsp; I got a user manual and learned alot.&nbsp; I used a spreadsheet program named Supercalc.&nbsp; When IBM finally put out their computer, it didn&#039;t have much more in it.&nbsp; I updated it with a 10MB hard drive, and 640KB (I think) memory.&nbsp; I installed all the options.&nbsp; Then I my office gave me a computer loaded with Lotus 1 2 3.&nbsp; I used it for several years, until I changed jobs and they had Microsoft products, i.e., Word, Excel, and others.&nbsp; </p><p>I enjoy Excel.&nbsp; I keep up with my coins, our personal finances, inventory of my movies (I have a theater and over 300 movies).&nbsp; I&#039;ve probably got more invested in my theater than my coins.</p><p>Anyway, Excel is so widely used, that it is considered the standard for most businesses.</p><p>Best of luck, my friends.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
