I did, old-timer. Albeit a Commodore 64.
Young punk.
One of the first things that my first computer teacher (in high
school) said was that computers were so expensive, no one person
could hope to own one. That was a bit of hyperbole even then, but
pretty close for the typical person. I used to spend my allowance
money on computer time at UBC to use their mainframe. That was in
the mid-'70s. (I still remember their announcement about them
doubling the memory on their mainframe from four to eight *megabytes*.)
Sincerely,
Gene Wirchenko
