Doesn't seem that long ago but Dad's been gone for almost a decade now and the kid's currently a pony-tailed, bearded college student. I'm a lot fatter, balder and grayer than I was in that picture.

pjern, I'm surprised IBM didn't foist a PS/2 on you. What's the big all in one unit (terminal?) on the right?

Me in 1996-ish with my grandma who died a few years later. She was my favorite grandma, always dressed up and sassy. When I showed up with dreadlocks [which often looked even weirder than this] she told me "Those aren't real dreadlocks! Jamaicans have real dreadlocks!"

gc- look closer- that's a PS/2 model 80 sitting underneath the big-assed 3270 terminal on the right.

My 90s are on Facebook but I'm not sure if you can see them without friending me. You could do that if you wish.

Heh. Sounds as if you have an interesting family moonpie.

And that tower theatre looks so USA '40s. When a broadcast tower was a symbol of technology and entertainment.
