We were doing MS-DOS when Word first shipped with Windows 1.0, that’s how old I was.
Back in grad school we were running LP models using punched cards. We would deliver boxes of them to the IT department and they would run the models at night on the mainframe computer. Remember the first time I used an original PC. Turned it on and the C prompt came up and wondered what the fuck do we do now. In the mid 80's used to travel with one of the first Compaq portable computers. Looked like you were carrying around a sewing machine. Remember VisiCalc? the original spreadsheet program and you had to write all the formulas for the computations. Remember writing IRR and NPV formulas for work.

My mother was working for Phillips 66 in California in 1971 and they had an IBM 360 mainframe and she was running the key punch machine. Sometimes we could go with her. And then visit our step-father, a second class boiler tech aboard the USS Ogden (which later transferred from the Port of Los Angeles to the Port of San Diego.) To this day, "Brandy" by Looking Glass, released in 1972, reminds me of the ship yards.
