Ha ha, when I first did computing, it was with a Teletype ASR-33 and a 110 baud modem! My first computer, I wire wrapped!

Also, when I was a kid, I had to walk back and forth to school four miles a day*. And it was uphill both ways. The snow was three feet deep. And then came the winter...

* This part is actually true.

This thread is getting weird. I actually did walk uphill both ways in the snow. I lived on a lake as a kid and the bus came only to the end of the lake at the dam. The road leading to the dam went up and down hills along the shoreline, hence I really did have to do that. Small world.
