Actually $125K when I got out of grad school 30 years ago... Loan rate was tied to the TBill plus 3.5% with no deferred interest. During Carter's Presidency, TBill (90 day) was 17% so interest was 20.5%...........No complaints, everybody should live on Ramen noodle s for a few years...........
yeah, and worst was they took away the interest deduction for student loans one year after I graduated......
Well said PatriotsReign! I contributed a small amount to fiber optic wavelength multiplexing technology (which is important to high speed internet) back in the 80's, but now as a physics professor I understand plenty of the tech principles but I'm a complete dummy when it comes to some of the stuff YOUGOTMOSSED is talking about. I didn't grow up with an IPAD under my pillow like many of the youngsters. Bobbutts, my experience in trying to watch sports on cable is similar to yours, streams being interrupted, viruses, etc.
Along those line, YOUGOTMOSSED or one of you other brilliant tech savvy youngsters: Could you give me a clear simple explanation of how to watch Patriots games on the internet for a non-local? Currently the best I can do is watch one of those horrendous blurry pirated live streams (with all of the problems that bobbutts pointed out) and then watch the game next day on NFL Gamepass. I don't mind paying some money to accomplish this (although I would rather not pay a king's random to the evil empire that tried to destroy TB), but it is difficult for me to figure out who is legit and who is not. Many of these internet sites want me to download some type of special viewer, and that makes me nervous, I don't want to have my computer taken over by Chinese hackers. Can one of you youngsters give an "old timer" some help?
Good point zyd! Many of us old-timers know about technology (like you, not me) but our awareness of the various avenues of communication can't compete with the young 'uns!
I still don't own an ipad or fascimile! I finally switched to a smart-phone when my company gave me one...I had a flip phone until 2012....now I have an i-phone4!!
