I used to manage a land surveying business with a Commodore 64 computer, back in the the "good ole days" and the reason that business did so well was because we "young surveyors" were the first to use computers for day-to-day land surveying tasks. My company was called "Micro Survey of Louisiana" and it was without a doubt one of the most fun and enjoyable businesses I have operated over my lifetime.
