Welcome to Episode 3 and the final part of "The Road", a personal look at the "Road of Computer Technology" as I've seen it over the last 30 years. In this episode, I look at the last days of the 8-bit personal computers, my very first IBM XT PC, Telephone BBS's, Early Internet, "Packet Racket" - Digital Communications over Amateur Radio and more.
