    My first computer was around 1994. I was 10 yrs old. We had what was called quick menu at first to make dos much easier. Followed by Win 95 soon after.

    I get it but it’s cheaper over time and right away. Between the extra revenue from up time, and no repair costs, it’s the right move these days. The headaches from yesteryear on emissions is gone. Atleast with the x15.

    What are you running for a truck?

    Didn’t you sell your truck a while back and go back to being a desk jockey?

    I graduated in 84. We had a computer lab in high school basically set up in the janitors closet.

    Hated the class staring at that green screen writing a program back in Dos days.

    One semester and I bailed. Auto shop and wood shop was more my style.

    Come 1992 I started my shoe warehouse and my 65 yo mother was more tech savvy than me setting up my inventory and sku system on my recent computer


    Still in Dos though.

    Latter on in life in 1997 I became a real estate appraiser and I was introduced to the first digital cameras and Windows and the internet .

    Big step in technology being able to access all the government websites for information.
