[QUOTE="cwgrizz, post: 392601, member: 27017"] Well let's see. The first one wasn't really mine, but it was the University's. It was housed in a climate controlled building as large as a good sized hotel. I took Fortran 4 programming language and used punch cards for programming. Next one I was involved with was a Burroughs my parents had for their bookkeeping business. The harddrives were open discs a little larger in diameter than 78 RPM records. I think there were 4, if I remember correctly. The computer cost my folks quite a large sum of money and it only did accounting (monthly and annual reports). No income tax, or anything else. It used paper punch tape for storing the individual accounts records. My first computer was a VIC 20, then a Com. 64, and then......................OMG........................... a 286 with a meg or so of ram. What fun! Ha! [/QUOTE]
