Electronics I

Years ago, Husband told Fio that for his birthday he wanted either a three-D chess set or one of those gimmicky new electronic devices called a computer.

Fio decided the chess set would be more practical and immediately hied herself over to Frisco Electronics. Apparently a lot of other people thought the same way because the store was out of chess sets and she had to settled for the computer. She opened the box when she got to the car because the little Sinclair was so light that she was afraid it wasn't there.

Husband took to the computer like glue, and has never unstuck since. A good thing too, because his computer skills put him ahead at his job.

That was thirty years ago, and Fio hasn't heard anything about three-D chess sets since.
