How do you figure? At the time, my Commodore 64 was nothing more that a glorified gaming machine. I didn't have a printer, wasn't connected to the net, in fact the only programs I ever bought for the machine were games. I had a Nintendo at some point in my life too, does that qualify me as IT? God, I never knew I had such an extensive resume. Hey Terry, Greg, got an address for IBM? Looks like I'm "qualified".
