Laughter - The Best Medicine
Introduction
Up until 1994 I had worked with IBM main frame applications as a college student, as a management trainee and cost accountant for United States Steel Corporation and as an auditor for Ciba-Geigy Corporation. I knew very little about personal computers until that fateful day when Computer City in Mobile, Alabama which was a few blocks from my home had a tent sale.
I brought four bits and pieces of Commodore 64's, finally got them functional, ran them in tandem and bought Internet in a Box (IBox) which was one of the first commercially available Internet connection software packages available for sale to the public. Spry, Inc. produced the package after licensing the Mosaic web browser, as well as starting up a commercial internet service provider (ISP) called InterServ.
As I gradually moved what had been available only on the main frames where I worked onto my personal computer the name Lancasters Laughing Place was born out of my love of reading the Readers Digest, especially the section-laugh: it's good medicine.
Taking Inventory
Puzzles, games, quizzes and tests which I have published for either my grand children, myself as a learning experience to be shared or just to have fun creating something new and reusable. They are included within Lancasters Laughing Place as a method to reinforce learning.
The learning section of "laughing" includes a complete inventory. Refer to the left side navigation above.
Tickling My Funny Bone!
Children provide laughter and delight, especially from a mothers view point, which are in the "musings" section.
Every child has been asked at one time or another to "Pull my finger!" A picture of the statement is shown below.
