In ‘93 I took an Autocad course a local college. I think the machine was a 13mhz. You could draw one tooth of a gear and then have the machine do an “array”, draw the other teeth. You could get a cup of coffee while it was doing this!
My unit was a tiny AF activity on an Army Base. We were the forgotten step kids and had antiquated equipment.
I'd go in, turn on the computer, start the coffee. Click on a few options, pour a cup of coffee. Finish the booting up sequence, go out back with my coffee and have a cigarette while Soldiers marched by. I'd smile, wave and think to myself..."Thank you God for steering me into the Air Force because that looks like it sucks!"
