What about, BASIC, FORTRAN IV and FORTRAN TS? How about a Card puncher and
card reader? Those were the days, you wanted something, and one had to write
your own code... ahhhhh

How about the following:

USB punch card reader
An old IBM style washing machine sized harddisk drive (1420 I think) with Firewire.
Bluetooth paper tape reader punch.

I could go on but it would just get more icky.

well, back to the retirement home. lol

PL/1 on CMS 0.8 was a blast.  Every abend dumped the 16MB vm core to
the real printer, and the computer center automatically routed the
boxes via USPS.

PL/C was decent tho.  Wrote quite a bit of it.

Us oldtimers gotta stick together.

FORTRAN II, LISP, APL, ALGOL, ITS-Teco, POPM, MUDL, SNOBOL, SPITBOL,
... Those were the days.  Pascal, C++, Java, ... pah.
