Certified Computer Literate

Normally I don’t recommend a careful cleaning of a file cabinet. No, it’s usually straight to the recycle bin or shredder. But I might change my mind. After all, I almost recycled this particular find.

Certified Computer Literate

Yeah, that’s right, I am officially certified in “Computer Literacy.” So you can take your J2ee, SAP, JAVA, ASP.NET, ActionScript, or whatever else you’ve got. Do you have this?

What’s that you say? 1992? Oh, well, yeah, I guess that’s true. I’m not even sure what it meant to be certified back then! Did it mean I was capable of doing the 25-in-a-row floppy disk install? Or that I could change the vacuum tube if it burned out? Or remove a punch card if it got stuck?

It probably meant that I finally beat Oregon Trail without losing a wagon wheel or dying from dysentery. Something my teacher never could quite do.
