After getting into the cutting edge information about computers, Internet and web pages on Tuesday, . . . I thought I would take just a small trip back in time and look at computers – as we saw them 40 years ago.
So sit back, relax (and if you remember any of this – take some Geritol)
Good morning Rocky. I can remember my boss saying he paid me for my thinking not playing with the giant mainframe toy. Oh my, have things changed. Enjoy your day.

I am often laughing when I hear what some "experts" have to say. It is sad that some people believe everything the "experts" have to say.

Wow, that was so much fun watching that blast from the past! A young Storm Field - he was on my TV at the time. "Simple enough so even an adult can use it" - hahaha. "Check the yellow pages and call to check on prices" hahaha.
We've come a long way baby!

Hey there Nina! Hopefully you aren't browsing Active Rain from a Commodore 64. LOL
Hi Rocky- I can remember my first laptop. It came with huge manuals. I had no idea what DOS was. I don't even remember what brand it was.

Rocky back then computers were a want, today they are pretty much a necessary. My first one was a Texas Instruments personal computer. It did not have a hard drive, or even disk drive, or programs. Information was stored on a cassette tape.

Hey Kathy Streib my first Windows computer was a Packard Bell. The same company that made my parents first color TV. LOL
Hey there George Souto my first computer at home was an Atari and it had 16k of memory and a cassette tape system to store programs. LOL
