First computer I ever interfaced with was some sort of dumb terminal hooked up to a time share computer someplace down at the University that we called into using an acoustic coupler… No idea what that iron was, but we had both punch cards and tape! And the Most Holy Thing one could do was to duplicate the StarTrek program tape. Tapes were not easy to come by way back when. Learned some simple programming that did nothing for me, other than that now I’m elbow deep in computer graphic design, web and game coding every day.
Amazing how far we’ve come in 40 years… playing with Adobe Fresco on iPad pro and pencil is amazeballs and this interweb thing is pretty cool too! Yahoo!
