Module1: Telnet Task A Progress Pictures & Reflection





These are the Bennahum's that were listed.

Unfortunately, I sent the Print e-mail option to my personal account to start with!

After realising my error, I sent it to my Curtin Student email...phew!

My computer screen (while on Telnet), reminded me of my first attempt at Uni in 1983:

a blinking cusor that kept saying 'Syntax error' over and over again because I didn't have a clue what I was doing!!!!

Luckily, this time I do :) BIG smiles - thanks everyone for your helpful message board posts...and my computer has been behaving!

It was great to participate in seeing the Internet in an 'old' way again. Technology has come a long way since the Black or Green screens of my youth when computer usage was becoming more commercialsied in the mid-late 1980s.

I know that my family have at least one old but Internet-enabled computer, my first one, which I got in the late 1990s. Although it still works, it is very slow (Pentium II but with very low working capacities). Concept 8, The Invisibility of Difference, is an important one to remember when sending information from a newer computer...older ones may have difficulty with the file size or worse, the software used to produce the email (from the newer computer) may be incompatible with the version on the receivers computer.
