Still kicking myself in the ass for being a high schooler at the birth of the PC craze and not understanding the potential.

“Still kicking myself in the ass for being a high schooler at the birth of the PC craze and not understanding the potential.”

I was in the first High School “Computers” class ever offered in Indiana, (not data processing, but Computers, at very small school) using Radio Shack Model 1’s. We got a Model II the second year.

I can still remember the School Board meeting with the teacher trying to convince them that “Personal Computers” were the way of the future, while the rep from Burroughs was trying to sell them the latest “Computer” that they had, that required insertion of paper data cards to “program”.
