Ahhh, I recognize the old 402 Accounting Machine board.

In 1963, I taught myself to program the IBM 1401 in SPS. My first assignment, as a college co-op student at White Sands Missile Range, was to write a program to multiply two N-by-N matrices on a 4096-character 1401 with two tape drives. It's rare for kids today to get opportunities like that.

And people tell me I'm ancient when I tell them I learned to program on punch cards.

A tip of the hat to those of you who were the true trail blaizers in the computer industry.
