So...you were in Grade 8 in the '70s, then? Which means you were a teen before I was even born. Technically, I'm a '70s baby, even if only by a week...

Like I said, home computers were becoming pretty common when I started going to
school. Even before I started kindergarten, my dad had a TRS-80. And by the time I was able to use one, the old man gave me a Commodore-64. Man, I spent nearly *all* my spare time goofing around with that thing...

Ah, the good ol' days...
