Yep. I loved APL. I saw, but never used the selectric with the APL ball. I only ever used 3277 and later terminals with the APL character set built in - at considerable extra cost IIRC. I wrote tens of thousands of lines of APL code in one of my former lives. Then I wrote almost as many again lines of assembler code for auxiliary processors and external functions so I could use APL as a sysprog sandbox and toolkit. It was pretty slick back in the day. Are we a bunch of old wierdos or what?
