First "computer" I ever saw was some kind of Commodore. But it just sat and gathered dust because nobody figured out how to use it (I had no interest in it. It was just some odd thing sitting in my father's room).

In high school, we got the Commodore PET's, & I remember learning programming on punch cards.

My dad's right arm was my first safety belt.

The first TV we had got six channels. Richard Kimble is David Janssen not Harrison Ford, and damn we were excited to see if he was going to get caught in that last episode.

I was the remote control for the TV. And you were out of luck if the President came on.
