I bought my first computer for typing up training outlines, hated typewriters.
It was commadors first AT Compatible, ran at 7.5 Mhz had to 5 1/4 drives with a whopin 640k of mem.
Basically just typed and printed my training outlines - then a friend talked me into getting Lesiure Suite Larry - Getting that game to run taught me a lot and is basically what hooked me - after that games got more and more comlex and you had to do a lot more configuration to get them working - just kept learning more and getting even more hooked.
That was back in '85 started out with Windowz 3.0 and Good Ol' DOS. I entered the IT industry professionally in '98 as a tech providing support for PC's and Macs for Netscape Browsers starting with version 1.x and lasted through 4.x until moving on to Gateway 2000, TEN, Meril Lynch Online, HP and a few others.
Then was a lead Network Tech for a local ISP - did that for a few years and now run my own PC shop out in the middle of no where - here in the near future am starting my own wireless broadband ISP.
And I owe it all to Lesiure Suit Larry
