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.
