Follow the career of a computer programmer from 1982 through 2019, who experienced PC technology from the beginning. Fast-paced growth, networking, the Internet, bandwidth and data as seen through the eyes of a coder. To-the-point history, illustrations, and reference links to hundreds of Wiki pages tell a story that all students of computer science should know. A must-read for geeks and nerds of all ages!

It is my ""End of Career"" goal to tell my story to the next generation of IT professionals. Knowledge of the history of PC technology and the experiences of the individuals who rode the wave are essential as they develop our technology of the future.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Ca, I have spent most of my life designing software applications, experiences that I have recently compiled into a book, 'Chuck - the down and dirty of personal computer evolution"". I was at the right place, at the right time, to have seen the growth of the personal computer from the beginning, 1982, and followed such growth of technology for thirty-six years.
