Question
Answer the following question:
How do we know that Michael's father was fascinated by computers?
Solution
Computers with advanced configuration along with a printer, modem, speaker, and scanner fascinated Michael and his dad because both of them were crazy about computers and could not resist any new gadgets that came in the market. They were crazy about com16 speed CD ROM, complete with speakers, printer, modem, and scanner. They had all the latest computer games such as Tornado, MeBabash, Black Belt, Kyrene's Kastle –they had played them all. His father was always the first one to buy any new product related to computer games that were launched in the market. They often went to Computer Fairs to buy the recently launched products. They had already in their stock a virtual reality visor and glove, and a handful of the latest interactive psycho-drive games. All this showed that Michael's father was fascinated by computers.
