I was in my senior year (1978) of college learning to be an electrical engineer and I started reading Byte magazine. The articles on micro-processors were quite interesting so I decided to build a computer (z80 CPU). Bought an s100 bus case with back plane, power supply, CPU card and a display card (attaches to the TV). I wire wrapped a 4K RAM card and a dual serial port card. I had no programming language, only a simple monitor program (called Zapple). All of this was finished the day after my last final. I now started learning how to program the z80 (by the numbers) and spent the next 3 weeks learning the instruction set. When I got to my first job they asked me if I'd be will to work in the test department as opposed to where I originally hired for and I said yes. I figured I really didn't know squat and was going to learn something no mater where they put me. Well, low and behold, the test group manager found out I had my own computer and asked me if I wanted to work on a microprocessor controlled smoke detector tester. Was basically asking me if wanted to do my hobby at work! I ended up doing embedded programming for my whole career (retired now).
