40 years in computers here. My first computer was given to me by the Air Force courtesy of NSA when stationed there. It was an IBM main frame which took up the whole floor of a building. One of my jobs was to pull flight info off of the screen using a light pen and printing it out for analysis. Never mind who's flight info it was. We did the analysis and then filed reports on another computer in machine format. After I got out I didn't see another computer until the early eighties when FHA started doing finpack and when FSA got computers in the mid 80's when I worked there part time while farming. My first computer was a 286 which was just about worthless in the early 90's. Got dialup in the mid 90's and probably have had a dozen computers since then. We've got two notebooks and a desktop now. Never buy the newest and bestest. Instead buy the cheapest good ones.
