I can't help myself... :)



My mother in the 1980s: "no one can ever call us because the phone line is 
always busy"

Me with an Osborne 1 and a 300 baud modem:  "We need a second phone line!"  
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_1)

My mother: "That's too expensive.  Quit clogging up the phone line with that 
toy!"

Me: 
"Ok...Pshhhkkkkkkrrrr​kakingkakingkakingtsh​chchchchchchchcch​*ding*ding*ding*"

I never would've guessed in those days that it would provide me an entire 
professional career.
