An article at The DigiBarn Computer Museum by Mr. Raskin.
From the story:
"By the 1990s, most kids had been exposed to computers. Not everybody used them or had one, but everybody knew about them.
I was not particularly different, I ran into a computer shortly before I was to go to high school, and was dazzled by the power and potential of programming. However, by extraordinary good luck, I met Merlin. Merlin's magic warped time for me so that my introduction to computers and programming occurred in the 1950s, instead of the 1990s. This put me 40 years ahead of my time, and I was later to make use of this privilege to create the Macintosh project, which may well have jumped the progress of personal computers ahead by a few years."
