First two things… wow the design of the admin tool you have set for wordpress is awesome owen, I want a copy! Second, today is the sixth day of the Jewish holiday of Passover and I’m posting this link everywhere just to let the world know.
hmmm, first computer… well my parents bought a used commodore in the late 80s from an elementary school in town… It had a huge green screen monitor attached to a large keyboard (I was under 10 so everything was huge at the time) and attached to the back via cable was a tape deck… yes a cassette deck… no floppy nothing here… we had a box of old cassettes with about fifty programs or so on them… no all of them worked so my first experience consisted of GW BASIC, a crappy ascii drawing program and hangman, but hey I thought It was pretty cool… at the time my house had this my father was way ahead and on his second laptop for work a tandy 800, that is now mine) with a 2600 baud acoustic coupler modem (two cups you attach to a phone and the laptop)… this was an upgrade from his older laptop as his first tandy 400(i also now own it) had an eight line screen above the keyboard and the newer one had a flip up screen… anyway… we soon upgraded the commodore to a word processor then to the piece of junk known as packard bell and then dell and now I have a beautiful iBook…anyway… just a little story about my first computer fun…
