Yes. I remember the Ferranti Pegasus. I ran Fortran II and earlier on it. That is one machine that I used paper tape for. I also remember the Algfol60. I was in England then.

RE: [newbie] Re: Fortran compiler
Did anyone ever work on one of the old Univac computers that punched round holes? That was my first experience. When you got ready to program it you got a handful of wires and a board. You could step through the program using a telephone dial on the side of the beast and you you could read the results in lights on the side of it. Don't consider any of this to be a longing for the past ... Except maybe the chicks ...
