After playing around with the Ender, on the advice of friends I bought an A1 mini

Side by side they looked like Wall-E and EVE from the WALL-E movie — such a comically apt resemblance to the visual and technological contrast between the two devices that I decided to name them accordingly.

My first personal computer appeared in 1999. The first digital camera would only show up about five years later, and for now all photos were analogue, expensive — so the computer only made it into photos entirely by accident.

Dad’s friend, Uncle Lyosha, sold us his machine for a hundred bucks with a money-back guarantee, knowing that mom was against it.
