    I am enjoying writing about historical microcomputers and some of those in my 40 years of collecting. It really brings back memories for me. It was and is exciting to have been teaching and writing during the start of the microcomputer revolution. I taught Instrumentation and Automation at Virginia Tech. I was fortunate to be a tenured faculty member during 1967 - 1998.
