Good god, next will be the punch card "computers"................................... .
first computer I had needed to be hard wired, you needed to change jumper wires and programing was done in octal (base 8). no screen no memory only a couple of light bulbs to indicate true or false.
Remember the little computer that the PMG brought out.. the computer phone? Ran on micro cassettes.
i used to run a 4 line BBS on a 64kb atari 600xl, 4 floppies and a 10mb sasi hard drive that cost me over 1k
dem wer da days....
who needs more than 64Kb??

The first computer program I ever wrote was done on punched cards in 1966 (when I was doing a BSc at UNSW). We'd leave the cards to be run overnight and collect the results and the cards the next day. I think the computer was an ILLIAC II (Illinois Automatic Computer).Quote:
