š¹ļø November 1983ā¦
This was my first "real" computer. The Atari 800XL. ā”ļø
No YouTube.
No Google.
No āmake money onlineā gurus.
Just a kid, a keyboard, and a whole lot of curiosity.
Back then, if you wanted a program to do somethingā¦
you didnāt download it.
You learned how to make it.
Funny thing isā
40+ years later, the lesson is still the same.
Technology changes.
Opportunities change.
But the people who win are the ones willing to learn the fundamentals and stick with it.
That little Atari didnāt just teach me computersā¦
It taught me persistence.
And honestly, thatās the real skill thatās paid off all these years.
Curiousā¦
What was the first piece of technology that got you hooked?
