To be honest, I kind of envied the guys who got to play with their own micro-computers. I didn’t really get into that until about 1990-91 or so. That said, I liked the VAX. I was pretty much on my own, there, and it was a good solid system. Mainframe sucked. Hated handing tapes to the High Priests in White Robes. At least I never had to hand them card decks ...
LOL! That's what they were like everywhere it seems...........never saw them do anything. They just stayed inside their 'room' all day and came out (you couldn't go in!) for coffee and lunch!..................
Dude! I was so proud of myself when I found out how to open the “Star-Trek” game inside fortran. The Klingons didn’t have a chance!
