You had to write to the printer one line at a time from a specific memory location. No I-O routines. But it was an improvement over those primitive first generation mainframes.

Just imagine what another fifty years will do.

And I was just thinking how an Internet application can consist of code from multitudinous sources.. one day perhaps even including the human brain. Can't wait for that. We think we got problems today. . . .
