The PCW8256 was the first computer that I actually got paid to work with. My mum’s friend’s husband wanted to computerise the records from his window cleaning business. The year was 1985, and child labour was still legal then.
Desire – Bob Dylan
So, in my foolish plot to expose myself (not in that way) to more music, I have followed the advice of Jon, and subjected my self to Bob Dylan’s Desire (again, not in that way).
