Wow, wonder if he knew just how forward-thinking this school was.
Wow, pretty sure this is the computer that we had at my house in the early 90s. Never could remember what model it was!
This is from 1986 — why all of the schock at seeing a modem?!?
What’s more fascinating is seeing someone else, besides me, had rotary phones in thier 1980s dorm room.
