So anyway, since with the things of Hewlett-Packard and I started going up to their Palo Alto Research Labs every Tuesday night, with a small group of people to meet some of the researchers and staff.

And I saw the first desktop computer ever made which was the Hewlett-Packard 9100.

It was that as big as a suitcase but it actually had a small Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) display in it.

And it was completely self-contained.

There was no wire going off behind the curtain somewhere, and I fell in love with it.

And you could program in BASIC and APL.

And uh. . . And I would just, for hours, you know, get right up to Hewlett-Packard and just hang around that machine and write programs for it.

And. . . So that was the early days.

And I. . . I met Steve Wozniak around that time too, maybe a little earlier, when I was about 14,15 years old.

And we immediately hit it off.
