Freedom is Important because People are Important

Hello,

I had a $35 computer when I was a kid, but it was called 'Speak and Spell' and it had far fewer options.

The real computer at home was an Apple II (later upgraded to II+) which cost over a thousand dollars and originally used a tape drive for data storage.

Computers sure have come a long way since then. When I think about how much things have changed, my gast is always flabbered.
