[DeTomaso] NPC on this day

[Bill Lewis]

My history with computers is more mundane & physical:  I had a job in my college days (1965-67) loading freight trucks at night, and every Thursday was the day that the boxes of computer cards came through.  Each box was about 50#'s, and there were hundreds of them.                                                                                                                                                       ----            My next defining moment was in about 1999, when personal computers were brand spanking new, and I said, "Who will spend several hundred dollars for a computer to store recipes, and other such stuff on!"  Ha!!     ---Bill
