And I was the hit of the party lugging home a "laptop" the size of a briefcase and loading 32 3.5 in disks onto a pc to load windows...and was a displaywrite, IBM36, Lotus123 guru. And those displaywrite docs were loaded with 2 5" disks..I van't even count he different "languages" I either had to try to learn or , as a tech writer (scary), write about. Ah fond memories. Got through grad school assignments using Tandy's TRS 80 (Trash 80) and thought that "Find and Replace" was great fun; looked forward to making my advisor's corrections. I remember many doubting Thomases back then who couldn't imagine computers ever becoming a household item. Studied Basic programming language which soon became obsolete; but it was a great example of strict logic for an application to work. Also was useful as an example to students how one misplaced word or punctuation mark could screw up thousands of lines in a program. **************Start the year off right.
