Back in the early nineties, as in 1990 
, I hadn’t heard the term “telecommuting” yet. In reality, I hadn’t heard of anything that mattered for real, anyways.
I had tried to work from home, though. Not as a telecommuter, but has in having my business based there, saving in overhead costs with office rental and so on.
In 1989 I had equiped a whole room at my new apartment in Rio de Mouro (Sintra, Portugal) as an office. There were 3 PCs, one “portable” Sinclair (read: I used to take it with me), one that had two floppy drives 5.25 where I ran accounting applications I developed (basically, glorified Lotus 123 sheets) and one Amstrad with a 10 MB hard drive where I kept the more space needing applications and data, all running MS DOS and Windows, can’t recall the exact versions. We’re talking the most advanced machines here, the Amstrad was a 386 that had cost me about 3000 Euros!
Of course, I needed a typewriter as well, because those awfull Epson printers did not have enough quality for my taste, so I bought from Xerox a Typewriter (with memory, it would store pages of documents and templates), a Fax machine and a Photocopier.
