I guess the first computer I used was a
Burroughs mainframe -- don't know the
model. I'd fill out COBOL coding sheets at
home, my dad would take 'em to work and
have the keypunch ladies punch 'em up in
their spare time, and he'd bring the printouts
home with him.
That would have been about 1967 or 68.
First machine I ever laid hands on was a
Data General Nova, I think. Programmed
in machine language using the front panel
switches. Results read out of memory, one
lamp per bit.
I'm 47. Please please please let there be
an older old fart here than I am.
