I did my first programming on a UNIVAC 1108. It occupied an entire room at Merrill Engineering at the U. 1976. Basic and Fortran. On punch cards. Computers didn't fit on desk tops in those days. On Fri, Mar 8, 2013 at 6:34 AM, Daniel Holmes <danielh@holmesonics.com>wrote:
Ah, you kids and your toys.
My Commodore 64 that I taught myself assembly language on in 82-83 is still working. Used it up into my first year of college when I started using the UNIX workstations. Although I did use it (and 2 others I had acquired by then) my junior year as part of a parallel programming course in CS and a hardware course in EE.
(Granted, assembly isn't a big deal on a 6510 chip, but I was pretty proud of myself)
