I read that momentarily as "WWII" and then I thought that when the first microcomputers were coming out, it was about 30 years since the end of WWII.

To put another way, more time has passed since the 1977 introduction of the Apple II, TRS-80, and Commodore PET than the time between the end of World War II in 1945 and those computers' debuts.
