BTW, how old is little Ms. Gina? I'm guessing 8-10 yrs? That's a perfect time to start venturing into programming. I first dug into PCs (at the time, "home computers") ca. 1977-78; I would have been 8-9 yrs. That would have been an Apple II - not a II+ or IIe / IIc - just the old ][ as we said.

Awesome. I have a 16 year-old that hasn't gotten in vintage tech that much, but thinks it is cool! Your daughter will have a more visceral understanding of computing if she continues. Bravo! Lee C. On Fri, Nov 4, 2016 at 5:03 PM, Randy Dawson wrote: > Here is my daughter

Very cool.  I love how that display works.  It's just like something from an early 80s movie. I want one badly but not $3000 badly. Sent from my Samsung device Original message From: Randy Dawson Date: 2016-11-04 5:03 PM (GMT-08:00) To:

How completely charming. Good for Gina, and good for you! (And I'm sure that Future Gina will 'appreciate' the fact that you put her on the web, dressed in a bathrobe. >Smirk<) On Fri, Nov 4, 2016 at 7:03 PM, Randy Dawson wrote: > Here is my daughter Gina, I thought you

Here is my daughter Gina, I thought you guys would like, Tek is still exciting. Sure, we have lots of PC's around the house, but this is the first one that she is programming, and programming the 4051 creates a smile. Randy https://youtu.be/o0LiYkHG3iE
