I get into computers by removing the screws from the back and sliding off the cover

Very funny. But from the image that I see of you - hopefully it is yours - you must have got into the computer that I have displayed an image of. Are you ancient?

Getting closer by the year, since today is my 80th Birthday. Actually that computer looks pretty modern compared to the ones I got started with.

Which level of computers did you start with. As you know there have been many many stages. I learnt when it was at the DOS stage.

When I was working for a Stud Farm in mid nineties we wanted have a electronic type writer. but when we went to the show room to have one we have seen a computer there and after having discussion with my Boss we decided to have one, as I was having some idea about the computers then. Thus I entered the Computer World!

I cannot even remember the computer i first used. I just know it was a laptop that was using word perfect those days. I was so green at the time i was actually being taught by an exchange student from canada who i was working with. She is the one who introduced to me to computers. I was just out of high school then.

When I was in elementary school computers started to fascinate me but more so in Junior and High school.

Well, it was becoming the "in" thing when I was in high school. At that time, it is a luxury to have computers at house. But later on become a necessity for almost all.

Computers have slowly crept in the lives of many and have taken control

@A K Rao I too had those electronic typewriters but just consigned them to the bin when computers took over (lol)

My first job was in computer line, that is how I got to know computer. It was fascinating then. Everything was new and fresh.
