I do marvel at how far we've come since then. I suppose maybe I was waiting for all the kinks to get worked out before I bothered with it.

It was the very latest possible computer a small business could buy. There wasn't a hard drive. There were 2 5 1/4" floppy drives and when I wanted to sort something, I had to sort a file from 1 drive to the other and I could only work with about 2000 records at a time.<br /><br />It was obsolete about the time we threw out the boxes.Charlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17167633465853736197noreply@blogger.com
