I took Basic using punch cards and Fortran on a mainframe so large that had a devoted air conditioned room.

I'm an old Cobol and BAL programmer way back when; I "graduated" to database and systems programming (which isn't really programming but involves tweaking parms for the mainframe operating system); and all this "PC" stuff sometimes buffaloes me. I'm awed by dinasour.

My first computer class - had no computers, went to a bank in Amarillo ONE NIGHT to see a computer - in that large air-conditioning room.
