I found some photos I took when I went to UA in '74-75. These would have been taken probably in December '74.
I thought some of you might like to see the height of the palms at that time, I always thought that they added a beautiful flavor to the campus.

They were taken with a Kodak Instamatic, that's why the color is strange.

What happened... did you leave your Brownie back at the dorm?

No, I never had a brownie... the Instamatic used 126 film, which was a drop in cartridge - hi tech.

My wife was going to school in Canada at the time, and I bought her a calculator in Tucson because they were cheaper. It was about an inch thick. It only did the basic mathematical stuff... maybe square roots... I think it was $80 and now you get a better, 1/10th the size one as a prize that nobody wants in a box of cereal.

Ray Kurzweil talks about that, how when a new technology comes out it's ridiculously expensive (cars, computers, video) and barely works, and when it "arrives" and really works it's free or almost free.

Let's hope that happens with electric cars, solar power and healthcare.
