@rauchg That's amazing! I'm also thankful for my dad to have bought a computer ~25 years ago.
Also thankful that he let me follow my own path, which ended up being a software guy. Just like he was

So was your Dad into computers? I wonder how my kids will be? I am really into ai and software for last year, and I believe it will be what I do in the future as well. http://Vercel.app is where so much of my creations started. So I wonder what my kids minds will be. Thanks for sharing this.
