every day in 2016, write a sentence or a paragraph or a poem that inspires or appreciates
computers
I’m sitting here surrounded by my eight computers. no one needs eight computers. well, maybe someone does, but I don’t know what for. I have eight computers because I love to play with computers, have ever since my supervisor came to me in 1965 and said he had a job no one else wanted but someone had to do and I had the least seniority in the group. he introduced me to a computer at The Boeing Company and I had to learn to program it. goddam! someone had invented a machine that worked like my brain at its best! I spent the next 47 years getting paid to play with one computer after another! goddam! goddam! goddam! eventually I retired, but by no means had had my fill of computers. thank you, computers, for filling most of a lifetime with puzzles for me to solve that I could figure out!
