About Black Boston History
Africans came to Boston in 1638.
How I got hooked up
In 1982, I sent an email letter with my dad ( a New York mail carrier). The Post Office was pushing for anyone with a modem ( mine was 300bps) to send letters by dial-up modem. He was looking over my shoulder. I showed him my new Osborne I, the world's first portable computer, which I had purchased in 1982. My dad told me "computers can be a good thing, a good career. See what you can do with it." I told him I would.
