Around 1983 my Eagle Scout project was to get computers for students at the Elementary School I had attended in central California. One of the companies that presented their systems was Vector.
Their demo was the first time I got to play with an S-100. I remember they sent a woman from their corporate offices and an African American salesperson to talk to me. That meeting always shaped for me an expectation of diversity in the workplace.
Looking back, I wonder if the woman at the demo was Lore or Carole
Vector was too expensive for my project. I did end up getting three Apple ][‘s for student use and a HeathKit CP/M system for the office. The school ended up being the first elementary school in the school district to give students access to computers.

Neat. About that time, maybe a year before a teacher of mine had a TRS-80 all-in-one in class. Decades ahead that one. Also in Ventura County.
