Working from home. The History of Home PC's

Kapro.

My first portable pc\laptop in the 1980's. 

My IEEE days. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_of_Electrical_and_Electronics_Engineers).  

Before IAEM even thought of a certification.  I was there even in their beginning.  Business as usual then, business as usual now with a diversity & inclusion flavor as bait.

Before RadioShack TRS-80, before Apple, before Microsoft, before Facebook, memories of my hacking days.

I submitted a lot of college papers with the dot matrix printer.
