Back in the mid 80’s soon after my wife and I were married, we received our very first personal computer; a hand-me-down IBM PCjr. I can’t remember how large the hard drive was (I seem to remember it not having one) and I seem to remember the modem was either 800 or 1200 baud. I do remember that it couldn’t run Windows so when I decided to create my own website, I had to teach myself HTML programming, type the HTML out manually and upload it to the website. Then I had to go to a friend’s house to check on his better computer which COULD run Windows to see what mistakes I made. Then I’d go home, fix the mistakes then repeat the process. It too months for me to build a simple personal website that way. We used that computer until it finally started to have issues that couldn’t be fixed so we purchased our own personal computer from a locally owned computer shop. We had it built custom with what we wanted that we could afford. It was nothing fancy. No bells and whistles, but we were thrilled that it has a 2400 baud modem and a 40 meg hard drive.
