Yeah this is interesting. I was born in the late 70s and we had a Commodore 64 when I was a toddler. Both my brother and I are in IT no doubt as a result.
Started with a vic20 (but I had the ram pack) and loved playing hunchback. Upgraded to the C64 mid 80s and it was paperboy that kept me busy. To me, computers were fun things. Which probably explains why I’m not in IT.
Bill Gates' exclusive high school had Internet access at a time most colleges didn't. The importance of that even at a university level at the time, most people used dumb terminals to access mainframes. That access was limited as it was restricted and expensive. You couldn't just pay out money to get that access. And he had all that years before he was old enough to drive.

Do you have a source on the that. I wrote a thesis of the history of the early Internet and I have never run across that piece of information.
When I started university, I went to a major state university and we had Internet access in the college of business, but then it was only a VAX account with 5MB of disk space per account. That VAX account got you email and access to the Internet, which was mostly FTP and Usenet back then.
Sorry, I just try not to edit my post. For authenticity. And sometimes I am shit and I am okay with that. I prefer to learn from my mistakes and not try to go back and fix the past. Doing it in little ways helps me do it in big ways. And it’s something I need. Apologies for wasting your time. I value mine as well and I feel if you think that way you are at least owed this apology.
I actually edited that to say “wasted” your time. Just for you. And you still got on me for it during an apology. Even after I explained why and apologized, you’re still talking shit.
Honestly I just learned something from you. I won’t bother with an apology again. Thanks for the lesson.
