Facebook is wonderful once you learn to hide all the
idiotic games and apps, and rid yourself of the Obama
supporters. <g>

I'm working on just that, not sure if I want to be as visual on
Facebook as I am here, and just keep it to a dull roar with friends
and family. It really seems to be designed with the younger
generation in mind.

I just returned from an unofficial class reunion (class of 75)
yesterday, that was put together solely from FB. The only
'younger' generation there were the kids and grandkids of
us older farts. My friends list is basically all 50+ with the
exception of a few nieces/nephews. Dozens of the pictures
taken are already up and shared by those attending, and
there is no way (that I've found) that makes it easier to keep
in touch and share those things. I used to post pics to a
photobucket account, but even then, you'd have to send out
numerous notifications to those you wish to share with. FB
just simplifies all that. And according to your privacy settings,
you can keep it from totally muted to a dull roar to wide open.
It just takes a little 'tweaking'. Good luck.

<smile> Being from the class of 47 I consider you as part of the
younger generation, I'll get all set one of these days as I am in
no big hurry. Thanks for the tips & tricks.

Well, as my 'class' has gotten so much smaller over the years,
surely yours would be a cinch to manage..! Of the ones still
kickin', you're probably one of the rare few that are online. <g>

Kudos to you for even owning a computer and knowing
what USENET or FB is. Most of my older friends see
a computer as the work of the devil.

(while all along, those of us in the know realize 'he' only
posts here) p
