I bought a BRAINIAC computer kit in the 1950s, but never got around to assembling it. It could be hardwired to add; or to subtract; or divide; of multiply. (That's "or" not "and.") It could compose music.

We got our first computer (BBC Model B) in 1983, but I didn't get online until 10 years later when I was doing a degree with the Open University.

I hadn't realised that you met your husband online back in 2982! I know quite a few who have met their spouses/partners that way, but you must have been one of the first.
