Do I remember paper tape? The first "computer" I worked on was 
actually just a teletype machine that used an acoustically coupled 
modem to tie into a mainframe (or something) at the University of 
Minnesota in Minneapolis (I started college at the Brainerd State 
Community College, which was an extension of the U of M at the time).


We would type our programs into paper tape, then upload them via the 
modem connection for execution. When we did graphs, we printed them 
out in ASCII format on the teletype. Quaint I guess you would call it.


Later, the physics department got their first real computer, which 
was a desk-top thing made by Olivetti. You would program it through 
its console, and record the programs on a magnetic card that was 
about the size of a Hollerith card. I think it had a maximum program 
storage capability in the neighborhood of 120 instructions. 
Thankfully, it had a couple dozen registers that you could "borrow" 
to store program instructions, and if you were clever, you could 
stretch your programs to over 130 instructions. It had two lights on 
the front, one red, and one green. The green light would blink every 
time it executed an instruction; about one or two instructions per 
second (yes, you could watch it as it executed the instructions). 
Floating point instructions were much slower; they would take 3 or 4 
seconds to execute each instruction. If you had a program fault (like 
divide by zero), the red light would come on, and it would halt. If 
you knew your program well, you could tell where in your program the 
fault was by counting the blinking green light flashes and speed.


The first computer company I worked for did not have a "boot" 
function. You had to fat-finger the boot in through the console. It 
was a 20 or 25 instruction program that everyone had to memorize. I 
also learned to write "diagnostics" by fat fingering in programs 
through the console. Interestingly, the machine was a 24-bit machine. 
Worked well with either 6-bit "BCD" (pre-ASCII?), or 8-bit ASCII.


Ahhh. the good old days.

Even as late as 1977 or 1978, Data General (remember them) sent out new 
systems with purchased software delivered on paper tape. Boxes and boxes 
of fan-folded paper tape. I remember having a new system where we had to 
replace the primary hard drive. Since the new disc was "virgin" we had 
to reload the OS, and all the compilers and libraries via the fan-folded 
paper tape. Boxes and boxes of them.


Every now and then the paper tape would get a read error, and you would 
have to "back up" the paper tape to the previous correctly loaded block 
and start again. It required being able to recognize the hole pattern 
for the block beginning. Wheee.

The compile step was long enough for a coffee or soda break.

enough to walk to lunch, get lunch,  and come back.  And still not

It's very easy to install, comes as an OVA built on Ubuntu 14.04.

It has a nice TUI for the console to do things like changing IPs, 
console password, etc.


The web UI has an 8 - 16 character password requirement. #shittypasswords

How about compiling a fortran program on an Apple IIe and  going for coffee, 
then a half hour later coming back to see your first syntax error.  

I had a TRS-80 too.  And the Timex Sinclair Z80.

Well, it wasn’t a “real” program.   It was on a mainframe at the Oregon Museum 
of Science and Industry (OMSI) it was a moon lander problem.  You had to 
calculate a rocket engine burn to make the lander touch down within a certain 
range of velocities. More of an algorithm or formula.   I was in grade school.  
And I didn’t get it right.  In 1971 I built an analog computer.  That was more 
fun.

Oh, it comes with VMTools compiled. I would use the open-vm-tools package so it

You can specify your own DNS servers, but it still appends two of Google's for

It has packages installed that aren't required, per apt.

Oh, it comes with VMTools compiled. I would use the open-vm-tools
package so it updates when I update the rest of the system.

You can specify your own DNS servers, but it still appends two of
Google's for you.

It has packages installed that aren't required, per apt.

It's very easy to install, comes as an OVA built on Ubuntu 14.04.

It has a nice TUI for the console to do things like changing IPs,
console password, etc.

The web UI has an 8 - 16 character password requirement.
