I wish mine had been that cheap.

Well, I did say it was a long time ago, and in fact mine was even less than that. And, too, my first engineering job, on the eve of the Korean War, paid $260 a month when a lot of new grads couldn't get a job at all. (I walked 6 miles to school through the snow in Louisiana, too). LOL

Don't forget uphill both ways . . .

I picked up some drafting-style printing from our architect . . . some people think I'm an engineer on account of that . . . they couldn't be more wrong, I couldn't engineer a one-car funeral.

paid $260 a month

Just about what I paid for my first HP calculator.
