Description
The History of Computers as Winona Knew it
1983: Winona helps her father to build an Apple II clone from scratch. Her small fingers are just the right size for holding resistors, capacitors, transistors, light-emitting diodes and memory chips as they are being soldered onto the motherboard.
1985: To spread her love of computers, Winona makes St. Valentine's Day greeting cards for all of her classmates using Broderbund's Print Shop and a black and white Star dot-matrix printer. Her entire kindergarten class is amazed and delighted with their cards, as computers are the stuff of science fiction, and the "grown up" world. Instant bragging rights are granted to a pack of know-it-all rug rats who've had a brief brush with the products of technology.
1986: Winona goes online for the first time. She dials up to the house of a Computer Science student from York University.
