I see all of you are having fun now. Good thread for it.
I also was involved (as a student) in the earlier days of the computer as a home accessory. My son was playing with a computer when he was 3 years old.
My wife and daughter have far more knowledge on the computer vs me.
MY BASIC KNOWLEDGE ON A COMPUTER IS WITH FORCED INDUCTION WORK AND
SIMULATIONS VS DYNO DATA.
So I am not in the loop with you people. BUT I do remember carrying my box with
all of the cards in precise order over to the computer building so that I could run
HOPEFULLY the most basic computer problem in college Computers 101.
Sometimes the card boxes would get dropped or the cards installed improperly and it would take hours and hours to trouble-shoot the issue. We were hooked up with the people from MIT and Standford as well as the U of Michigan.
