Wow! What a story! I'm a bit younger. My first puter was a Commodore VIC-20
with 5KB RAM and 16KB ROM. I was so cool to everyone in school when I
managed to put the school phone directory onto a cassette and lookup names
by first name, last name, or phone number. I charged students $5.00 for each
tape. Since then I haven;t made a dollar in the tech world!
