Computers were not even an issue then.
I was a rep for Hy-Gain Electronics, an old line antenna manufacturer that got caught up in the CB craze.
There was nothing even resembling PC then.

10-4, good buddy.

That’s cool. I wouldn’t mind attending these things, just to see the gadgets that aren’t going to be released for another 6 months.

That’s pretty cool, I’ve got a Hy-Gain antenna rotator on a 200 foot tower that turns a 3-element tri-band Yagi. Bought it used of course a few years ago, but it’s still working very well.

I know one computer that was available 30 years ago. The Commodore 64 which was available in January 1982.
