35 years ago, my dad chose an Intel 80386 over a typewriter – and sparked a lifelong obsession.
With 1 MB RAM, a 40 MB hard drive, and a color CRT monitor, I was completely hooked. Within weeks, I had figured out COM1 vs. LPT1 and was obsessively tweaking autoexec.bat and config.sys for expanded memory. While friends played on C64s and Ataris, this was my true beginning in tech.
