The paperboy who bought his first computer
Rickard cycled around Varberg selling the Gothenburg tabloid GT on Saturdays and Göteborgs-Posten (GP), the Gothenburg daily, on Sundays. The money became a computer and a modem.
I cycled around selling Göteborgs-Posten every Sunday when I was young … That paid for my first computer. No steam-powered media, no social media.
