Digital Revolution Began in the ’80s

I love this blog posting by Mark Cuban. It reminded me that in 1980, I was learning to write code for the Apple II+ without having any idea what I was doing, exchanging messages over a dial-up connection at 300 baud and calling the Woz for help.
By the way … when I got an Apple “green” display, I thought I was really cool!
As I observe, consult and write books and articles about reputation and brand leadership in today's highly competitive world, I will share thoughts and perspective on this blog.

We got our Apple IIe Europlus in around 1981 or 1982. We used it for very primitive word processing - the 40 column green screen did not support upper and lower case, so capital letters were displayed in reverse video. What excitement when we got an 80-column card and we could actually see upper and lower case.
I had a 300-baud modem in 1986 and used to go onto various bulletin boards. I really thought that this the future for computers…
