Back in '76 I was a high school senior. They had just set up a computer room and I would stick my head in there every once in awhile. No way with my grades I could have taken that class. It comprised of 4-5 eggheads who were at the top of our school. I was a typical slacker in those days.
My first real computer, (after several Atari consoles) was an Atari 400 in 1980. Man, did I ever spend some time on that thing! What was cool it could run my old Atari carts from my console. I dabbled with almost every version of Atari until I got sick of the lack of hardware and software. It seemed anything announced would always turn into vaporware.
I had enough by 1990. I bought an Apple Performa 400 from all places, Wal-Mart. It was the closest to my beloved Atari. I didn't have much love for DOS, and later Windows.
I haven't looked back since.
