In 1974, in high school, I had a nice TI CALCULATOR. It was nice and I had it until 2003, when I lost it. The TI had LCD in it.

My dad was a computer engineerand Ihave a picture of him next to a 50's computer, my dad said today's watches are more powerful than that computer.

It'd be great to see that photo.

I first got my mitz on a computer (an IBM 1620) briefly at my college in early 1963. It took about another decade for me to get fully immersed in computer software and eventually architecture.
