Our first computer was an Apple II in the late 70's. We had a dot matrix printer and the monitor only showed 40 characters on a line. When my agency was going to get an IBM pc I was a social work supervisor but was one of the few people in the agency that was familiar with computers so I got the job as an Administrative Analyst. The agency purchased an IBM pc in the early 80's and eventually we purchased an external 5 MB external hard disk. I remember the sales people at the computer store said that we would never fill up that hard disk. That was the era when 1-2-3 spread sheet came on floppy disks.

How times have changed.

ps - Bought a Macintosh when they came out in 1984.
