A Bit Twisted

On your way up, people root for you because you remind them of their dreams.  When you're at the top, they want to tear you down because you remind them of their failed dreams.  - source

I Did

First Computer

I was in my sophomore year at Samford when I got my first computer.  It was an IBM with Windows software.  Mind you, this was pre-internet.  I didn’t ask for it.  Like almost all students, I was using the computer labs on campus.  My dad was the one who had the idea to get me one.  I have to thank him!  It was shipped to me when I was staying on campus at Beeson Woods.  After unpacking it, I used the fold-up guide to set it all up on my desk.  I had a printer, too, but not sure if I got it at the same time.  I recall using Microsoft Word and Excel most often.  It sure helped me with my assignments, and I used that computer the rest of my days at Samford.
