I don't remember the eye candy tool catalogs. I do remember about 1966, going down the street to the full service gas station. And, at that service station was one of the first diagnostic computers, with a live Japanese tech there trying to make a living I'm sure there was still xenophobia in our little backwoods neighborhood. I was intrigued of course, this was very much before anyone saw any japanese cars. I did have a japanese made transistor radio that I would listen too at night. I'm sure the brand of computer diagnostic machine was Sun. I think anyway. First wave of Japanese technology which certainly kicked our Detroit butts. My first post in thirty days, as I feel quite overwhelmed by the degree of knowledge and experience represented here. |
