In 1961 I told my dad that I would have a computer someday so I wouldn’t have to remember unimportant details like dead Presidents or capitals of states. He laughed, telling me they cost millions of dollars! When I gave my mother a computer I had built about 40 years later he took one look at it and said, “What is it?”
I used the World’s 1st Laptop (called FADAC) in 1968.
