My first computer was a Sinclair ZX-80, but it had no connectivity. I mostly just built loops and other useless apps in Basic. Network connectivity for me came in 1983 with an Atari 800 and a 300 baud modem. Would log into the National Weather Service, NOAA etc. Then joined TheSource, and upgraded to a 1200 baud Hayes smartmodem and an Atari 1200XL. Also had an Apple IIc and a TRS-80. Played Defender until my palms would literally bleed. Never failed to set the high score in numerous arcades around the country.
By 1984 I was using a Fortune Systems 32:16 (still have it!). Played games, logged into various government sites, and 'chatted' with others when I wasn't building rudimentary accounting software (a checkbook balancer and order-entry system) and unix shells for small office environments. Joined Compuserve, read news from The Columbus Dispatch (lived an hour down the road) and various other sources.
During this time I earned my Computer Science degree initially using a Honeywell system (punch cards!); later, a PDP-11. Had 'email' starting in 1983. Suffered through Fortran, LISP, some Cobol, and Assembler. Have done no programming since 1986, though I did teach myself html and built several websites in the mid-1990's.

2008 was a profusion of posh one-of-kind style while 2009 is believed to be heading towards back-to-basic style. The focus seems more on eco consciousness, quality craftsmanship and agrarian living.
Tomorrow’s Trends
The Caravan Motifs
The geometric patterns and motifs with bold colorations will dominate the palette. Some of the examples are Russian Folk Art, The Moirangfee Loom of Manipur, Suzani patterns from Central Asia.
Patchwork
The age-old craft of quilting has made a grand entry in the 21st century. Modern mix of pieced fabric, tiny flowers and colour-blocked graphics accessories are slowly making their way into 2009.
Red & Orange Palette
Passionate, warm & inviting – red and orange are still going strong into 2009. Clear reds make a splash in ethnic textiles, sculpted candles and silk flowers.
Glacier
The complex dimensions of snowflakes and crystal quality of ice is one of the freshest themes in home design. Frosty finishes, metallic accents, and cube shapes redefine the fine line between hot and cool.
