    Back then I was in my early teen years and my Dad asked why I needed a home computer. There really was no good answer at the time but my folks gave in and got one for me after much begging. Even though I played a lot of games on it, I also taught myself several programming languages which wound up being a solid base for my engineering degree and career.

    When we first started selling 10 MB (That’s MEGA-byte!) hard drives, I remember wondering why anyone would ever need that much storage.

    Didn’t he ever see any 1950’s sci-fi moves? They always say “There are things which Man was not meant to know,” usually after the city has been wrecked by the giant monster.

    Oliver could have learned that cheaper/less painfully by reading Nivens’ “Unfinished Story#2”…

    Well, we can use them to read old “Bloom County” comic strips…

    “There are realms of the mysterious that man should never poke into”? I guess he doesn’t know “B.A.S.I.C.’ you should always”PEEK" before you “POKE”.

    Oliver has gone where no man should go! Let him mourn for his computer. I mourn his beheaded Teddy bear!

    If God didn’t want us to have computers he would have given us brains – Look around…

    What proportion of the population was using home computers before the Internet came along?

    My first was IBM PC, shortly after I was hired by USAF and trained to program on the big iron using cards and tape reels.
