First computer in my library was made by Xerox - believe it or not. I
am not sure they were made for general sale. It was given to us by
Xerox when they were upgrading. I can't remember any specs. But we had
a student aide who was a real computer geek. He wrote us a program for
producing overdue notices. It was the neatest little program because it
was personalized. Whenever it needed time to process the information we
had entered, - we would get a little message that said: "Time for a
tea break". Every once in a while we would get a message that said
"Librarians of the World - Unite!!".
After that, we had a Tandy TRS 80 with a cassette player as a drive.
The first computer I ownder personally was an Apple LLe - with a double
floppy drive. Hot stuff. It cost a whopping $3000!

poetry and to put knowledge smack dab in the middle of the American
way."
