I remember in 1972 I was listening to a talk radio show and the guy was going on about how computers were going to change everything in a few short years ~ I actually called and said "no way !" .

How little I knew, right ? .

I wasn't interested in computers until someone showed me you could talk to others (back then via a BBS, remember those ?) , I was hooked because I love learning and knew I'd be able to find parts and technical info so easily....

I've made many new friends and learned so much thanx to computers .

I remember Dick Tracy's "Wrist Gee-Nee" ~ a talking radio dispatch wrist watch that seemed like Buck Rodgers foolishness but here we are now .
