A very organized ambitious young man who didn’t have a computer back then. Ever heard of a planner?


No need for a planner... he came from a well-off family, but even then several of us had one or other of these 1984 computers -

And don't forget the famous “1984” Apple computer ad in the Super Bowl.

Additionally, the Commodore 64 was released two years earlier and my engineering/software buddies had been building their own S-100 machines for at least five years.

Let’s hope the documentation is not on one of those early machines. You may have trouble reading those early files.

This is going to be a huge problem for historians 100, 500,and 1,000 years in the future. Nothing is on paper a dm ink any more.
