LOL Remember that? Amber screened monitors and HUGE 20MB hard drives.

When I started 300 BAUD was unimaginably fast, the only hard drives with 20 MB were on Big Blue machines, and we had to keypunch our JOB cards. But one of my colleagues had started when all programming was done with soldering irons!!

A very close friend of mine was a charter member of the Homebrew computer club in Palo Alto. :) Built his first 12-bit machine out of discrete chips (no microprocessors). :)
