My Mom kept all of my drawings, it seems. I taped more and more pages together for my James-Bond-like underground data center. I seem to really like IBM tape storage, radar screens, and the more blinking lights the better. This dreamscape is soooo exciting to me, even today.

I think this was from when I was about 12 years old, just before I got my first computer in 7th grade (an Apple ][ and I added individual Mostek DIP memory chips from Dad’s fab to take it to 48K).

    Nothing is ever as intense as the fantasy worlds of an imaginative 12-year old. Those were the days! (Map drawings and a Spectrum 48K in my hideout).

    I recycled one of those Sony Trinitron TVs about ten years ago. Cool drawings. Thank you Steve’s mom.
