@ North- Now you are just showing off! I had a Teletype machine at Western Electric back in the day. It read a punched paper tape, thank you very much!
@ North- If that is how its done, can I borrow some? No impressing or swooning here lately!
@ RP- Yeah, it does. Lets put some big tape drives over here and a lot of panels with flashing lights over here. Sorta like a DEC PDP-4 huh? OK, maybe a PDP-11!
I still have some Hollerith cards...

ReplyDelete"showing off"
ReplyDeleteYes - that is how I impress the men and make the ladies swoon!
I was just thinking that looked like the set from the "Time Tunnel" ... so mid-60s TV tech. Heh.

Which guy are you in the picture? lol
ReplyDeletePsst! When I see you again, I'll do my best to "swoon"
Heeheehee.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a teen I had a hand me down Commodore 64 and a cache of floppy disks that were my brother's. And it was old back then!
I remember playing Oregon Trail on a green screen in elementary school, too.
The computers keep changing, but I still have that exact desk and chair in the server room.
ReplyDeleteI started on an IBM 360 programming in Fortran... on an 1190 punch card machine!
ReplyDelete@ Brooke-- "You have died of dysentery", LOL!
ReplyDelete@ ASM- Come to think about it I do too! Can't kill a old Steelcase chair in that lovely green color, huh?
@ NFO- Ok, you got me there! I started on a Motorola 6800 assembly language. When I got out of school then I went backwards!
Oh, the 6800! Not enough accumulator registers for me. I designed with the Z80. A AND B, dog! Plus HL...
