Back in the late 1970s, when personal computers were just getting started, it was envisioned that men would use them while sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee, while the wife stared adoringly from behind the kitchen counter, polishing cutlery or whatnot.

It didn't quite work out that way in my house.

Anyway, top ad is Radio Shack's TRS-80 and bottom ad is the Apple II.

Of all the neat stuff I’ve bought in my lifetime, I can’t remember anything that was more exciting than a TRS-80 Computer I bought when they first came on the scene. The idea of having your own real computer at home was mindboggling.

If my wife is staring at me from behind the kitchen counter while polishing cutlery I know I'm in deep trouble.

Cordially,
