In the early days, 1980 and earlier, people got their
low-end computers, e.g.
Commodore Pet, TRS-80, minimally equipped APPLE, etc, into the house under
the
guise of being able to do useful works with respect to the household ...
generically referred to as "balancing the checkbook" but not limited to that.
They were seldom used for that. They were tools for self-amusement/abuse,
often leading to increased drinking, smoking, cursing, and profuse
consumption
of potato chips, coffee, cola, or whatever.
Um... do you per chance believe Apple is a satanic company because of
'Darwin'?
I know I never increased my drinking, smoking, cursing and profuse
consumption of potato chips, coffee, or cola because of playing games on
an Apple II.
I did however increase my use of "Whatever", but I blame that on the 70's.
And I didn't start the self abuse for another few years.... hey, I was
only 7... how young should I have started?!?
