Tammy and I were fortunate in that our dad got a computer while we were young. There wasn’t a lot we were allowed to do other than play a few games and since I was taking business classes I go to balance the checkbook on the computer program. Fun! Fun!
The computer’s in the early eighties all had DOS based programs. Consequently, if something needed to be done a command would show that stated “Press any key to continue”. Tammy was probably 9 or 10 and I clearly remember her telling my dad to press the any key. Dad was perplexed until she demonstrated to him. The SPACE BAR was the any key.
To this day, I never see that command on the screen that I don’t immediately smile and think of Tammy and the any key.
I'd like to say I was somebody special; however, I'm just a regular person with a regular life. I have all the same hopes, fears, and dreams as other people.
