In 1975 I graduated from high school/technical college and my goal was to have my own computer. At the same exact time, there was an article in Popular Electronics on building a MITS Altair computer, the very same article that caused Bill Gates to quit Harvard and go to Albuquerque and set up shop there. I had the very first Microsoft product, a 4K BASIC interpreter. I was writing programs on it to help friends because there were no software. If I only had a business sense... I met Bill Gates in 1977? It was awesome to meet him and got to go to the Microsoft campus in 1994. I thought the campus was the coolest thing. Unfortunately, the last remaining buildings was recently torn down to make some more huge buildings and the campus is humongous now but in the Microsoft museum, they have a copy of the original slightly larger 8K version.

I remember in the late 80s and early 90s when some people began mentioning computers and what they would do in the future....it sounded like a myth to me. Back then we use to make our simple spreadsheets on exercise books, based on whatever context it involed by drawing tables first then summing up the total at the bottom of the table. Today everything has progressed even into databases and such. Now a person from Australia can modify a databased spreadsheet of a company as far away as the UK with just the click of a button. You can work from home and earn your bucks. I always wonder how this one guy could create a company to bring up all these awesome ideas. I've remained greatly inspired.

Explaining computers and the internet was my job for a fair while. It was very painful at times. I was 20. Explaining things to people my own age was hard enough but older people it was extremely difficult. When setting up a PC for someone and then having them ask me how to use it you learn quickly just how basic you need to start. Just teaching people what a mouse was and how it worked took a long time, and people often got very frustrated, especially considering how un-user friendly windows and DOS were. I too cant believe how much it changed everything in life.

As entry level as it gets. This was from 93 to 97 which was a small time but a big difference in general PC awareness. Plus I was expected to do it for free, often after hours, by people who werent there to learn. Usually they had a new toy but no idea it was going to be as complicated as it was. When yr installing software and trying to get the right drivers etc etc and people are asking, why doesnt it just work and what is this DOS thing, it isnt fun at all. So, very different situation I imagine to teaching a class.

I considered some of their sales practices etc to be straight up unethical, with things like rent to buy loans etc which were all carefully designed to milk people for as much cash as they could. I honestly dont know how some of it is even legal. So it wasnt the customers fault at all, it was just that they had no idea they were buying the most complicated technology on the planet, and that it was also still incredibly hard to use. You have to realise these PC's often didnt even have windows on them, just DOS. And when it came to software and asking people if they knew their RAM, CPU, HD space, sound card etc etc and then having to explain what these things were and why they were important etc, it was just a recipie for disaster.
