My first computer I used was a Xerox 820-ii. (I was maybe 12 when Dad brought this behemoth home from work.) He later bought me an Atari 800 with a keyboard a “BASIC” cartridge and a few Game cartridges (Anyone remember “Star Raiders”?) because he didn’t want me wasting my time gaming, rather have the ability to program seeing that computers were in our future.
Fast forward, I am basically a OMB (one-man band) MSP in a rural area of Idaho.
