When I was around 10yo in the early 1980s in New England, I loved to watch the Computer Chronicles - which usually was shown late at night for some reason. It's hard to describe now how awestruck I was at everything the show covered. I was too young to understand what a studio was, so I really thought they were filming from some far away skyscraper with a view of the city behind them. I wanted to be there! I still get that buzz of excitement and wonder when I watch recordings even today.
After moving to Silicon Valley, one of the things that still gives me joy is the idea that I now live close to where the show was recorded in San Mateo. It's one of those small dreams as a kid that became reality.
I have this same feeling every time I drive by the Jameco office. I used to read their catalog and buy components from them and now living right near them reminds me of growing up
