My late father knew how computers were going to play an important role in my life. In 1987, I got to play and work on a Commodore 64. A couple years later he got me one of the first laptops, which had to weigh 50 pounds, to work on my word processing and enhance my computer skills.
Each summer I spent with my dad in Boston there was new technology to play around with. We graduated to desktops and every year he would let me purchase the latest computer game I desired. Naturally, I gravitated toward sports games such as “Earl Weaver Baseball” and “Wayne Gretzky Hockey 3.”
