We had an antique Burrough’s adding machine that was rigged up with solenoids and such, to a telex line. You could telex data to it, and it would send the answer back. We also could run punched paper tape in and out of it. We were really smart.

I miss BASIC. B-) If I had the time, (I have lots of issues, Mom passed away, need to unload the house and find an apartment, etc) there is a side of me that wants to drag out my old Apple //e and TI-99/4A and putter around with them for a while.
