as per the post below.

"this surveyor cannot stand computers but needs something drawn digitally."

When did you get your first computer, can you describe it?

My very first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 model 3, cost around $2000 and did not have a hard drive, run off 5" floppies.

It was in the 80's I had a Shelter insurance agency (MFA) for ten years and used it there.

My first computer for surveying, I bought in 1990, it was a HP 386SX with 2MB of ram and a 40MB hard drive ran off of DOS, used AutoCad rel. 9 as my cad program.
