She made you proud!! If all our kids can get as excited and curious about the history of
computers as your daughter then the future will be so bright.
We probably need to get more advice from her on what we all, old-school timers, should do
to help keep the legacy going on !

Tarek,
This is awesome, Steve. First of all please give
a high five to your
middle-schooler daughter whom you had her help make such a
high
quality video. I assume that such videos will
also be shared at schools,
and your daughter’s friends. It would help raise
awareness on
the history of computers that ultimately led to
today’s devices and
software. For once, our kids can say “aha, so this is where
home computers
came from?” :)
You got it, the hope is to help awareness and be something acceptable for
schools to use. And part of this started when my daughter asked me "what
was the first home computer?" I just couldn't give a simple answer :)
She did the background (her signature is at the bottom left, "Carrion" --
and its subtle, but the gray at the top and bottom was intended to
represent silica sand) and picked most of the system arrangement.
Thanks!
Steve
