I discovered the internet and the BBS system in 1990 and my first "512k dual floppy" laptop in 1993. The next milestone came when I purchased my first copy of Windows 3.1 in 1995. From then on out, it was uphill all the way. I pretty much taught myself everthing I know and it hasn't been easy keeping up. The biggest challenge was mastering UNIX commands to data mine databases back in 1994.
Keeping up is tough sometimes and it's been a long, bumpy ride, but I wouldn't trade it for the world! LOL

$350 was a lot of money back in 1985.
Probably a whole weeks wages.
