I wasn't born yet !, of course neither was David :o)

I do remember punch cards though and TRS-80's for business LOL. Went from cassette tape to 4 (count'em 4) online floppies for a whopping storage capacity of 320K and then a hard drive with 5 whole meg. My favourite though was an old MAI mini with a dozen plus terminals hanging off driven by a Lightning Processor, a Z80A !!!!! , unbelievable but I digress.
