My first computer...


Franklin Ace 1200. I was in my first year of college when Mom and John got me this gem for Christmas.

I used it mostly as a word processor. WordStar, I remember. A half screen of commands I recall.

Pre-Windows days. Ahh...

I remember taking it with me to my first job out of college. World Christian Magazine down in Pasadena. Mom and John bought me a Compuserve kit to connect to the internet. I worked hard to get it to work so I could send e-mail, but did not succeed.

Nostalgia...
