History of my experience with DOS-based PCs, Unix-based Servers, Windows-based PCs, Windows Servers, and finally falling in love with my MacBook Pro, iPad and Droid.
My Life with Computers
It all began in the 12th grade of high school in 1978 with a computer programming class. We wrote programs by filling in ovals on computer cards and feeding them into a card reader. Boring! The only time it got fun was to drop a card in someone's stack of cards that the ovals made the command "BYE". This would stop the program, log the computer off and cause the computer operator to scream (for some reason). I had no reason to want ever to use computers. However, while working on my MBA in 1984, I took a computer programming class in Pascal where you got to write your programs on a computer screen (CRT) and run the program without getting up from your seat. That very act of typing a bunch of words that made a computer print something, calculate something and draw something on the screen was incredibly fascinating.
