Ted's History With Technology
My background has a wide range of skills leveraging computer technology; while my education and early career focused on business administration, I quickly found my real enjoyment in "working" was when work no longer felt like work. That happened when I bridged by early career experience at Heiser Automotive with technology. A rough chronology of my career and how technology guided it below!
1980's
My first computer was an IBM PCjr a great starter computer, 5 1/4" floppy drive and 128k memory. Great for learning how to write some basic, and running Lotus 1-2-3.

I graduated from college in 1987, and from there, eventually worked my way up to a Leading Edge 386 with a whopping 40MB hard drive. Seemed like a huge change from just a few years earlier with the 128k memory and no hard drive.
