Be nice, since there are some Freepers who have been Software Engineers for such a long, that they have personal knowledge of early computers like this.

At least the key-punch machine had been invented when I first learned to be a programmer, and I was able to pay my way though college from that earned income.

I first learned to program using punch cards. The first word processor I used was on a Zenith Z-100...That was when I was an Airman Stationed in South Dakota.

I never touch or seen a computer in high school.
