Even in Annapolis, I did not have any new technology. A Royal typewriter was as far as it went. I bought IBM stock when the announcement was made. Yeah, I am that frickn old. I met my wife when she was an IBM instructor out at China Lake Naval Weapons.
at U of MN - Statistics class - we weren't allowed to use calculators ever. I was scared to death of all the math but the teacher was so great that I studied my butt off and Aced the course! no IBM stock for me - damn it.
My future wife talked me into it. She is more than happy that I did today.
