Do you remember when?

If you are like me, you have been around computers for sometime.  Or should I say, been around long enough to remember when personal computers first came out.  I passed the option of getting the revered Commodore 64 and went right to an Apple IIe.  I took out my very first consumer loan to buy it.  I thought my 20mb harddrive was huge!  I even got a dot-matrix printer.  I paid $1800 for all this new stuff and a bunch of programs.  I thought I was part of the technological era and was on top of the world!  I really had no idea what I was doing with it other than it was cool and I now had a high tech typewriter.  How crazy was that!

I know there are some of you out there that have stories like this and I would love to hear about them.  If nothing else, please let me know I was not the only “wannabe geek but had no idea what a geek was at the time” person in the world.  I am sure there are some very funny stories and I would love to share them with anyone who needs a smile or wants to laugh.  Can anyone tell me what an 8088 processor is?  LOL
