Christian and the Computer

In these tough economic times and a looming recession, we had to make Christian get a job at his tender young age. :)

I laugh as I think back to my introduction to the computer as a kiddo. We had a couple at my house ... a Texas Instruments computer and a Kaypro (anybody even know what I'm referring to?). At school, our computers were DOS with a basic black and white screen. Our time at the computer lab was spent programming a traingle "turtle" to move around the screen. If we did well, we got a dixie cup of peanuts and raisins.

Christian's "first computer" is a top-of-the-line laptop. :) Although, by the time he is ready for his very own first computer, I'm sure this laptop will be obsolete. Ah, times they are a changin'

Omigosh!! I SO remember those little Dixie cups full of peanuts and raisins! I used to look forward to those after our time in the computer lab. Ah, those were the days.
