That story about the girl wanting to see the computer instead of the Nintendo is so wholesome! It’s wild to think that using a computer by choice was almost a 'red flag' back then. Now, it’s basically our whole lives. It sounds like you were ahead of your time with that setup! And you really are an OG of the computer world. I love that your dad just passed them down to you. It’s funny how a 'red flag' back then (being a computer geek) turned into a 'double bonus' now. Thanks for sharing that story, it’s a cool slice of history!
