The History of Personal Computing podcast wants to read YOUR STORY online about the first computer you received as a gift during the December holidays. If you have a fond memory of receiving your first computer during the holiday season, let us know the details. Contact us at feedback@historyofpersonalcomputing.com with your story. We will share your story on a special holiday edition of the History of Personal Computing podcast.
If you don’t mind being interviewed via Skype instead, let us know via email and we will try to arrange a recorded interview with you.
Send feedback to feedback@HistoryOfPersonalComputing.com – We really want to hear from you by email or send an audio comment! Also, as we cover these computers, we would love to receive your high-quality pictures of the machines we’ve covered, so please start sending them in. Also, please write a review on iTunes!
