 After a one-semester exposure to programming an IBM 1486 (IIRC) Accounting 
 Machine with a big honking 15lb board that was pulled out one end so that 
 jumper connections could be made to instruct the machine to tabulate, 
 multiply etc., I mostly used punch cards. But I did have one year with a 
 GE-teletype system that used paper tape. And of course the Commodore C-64 
 used cassette tape. Then came floppy discs. I thought I had died and gone 
 to heaven when I started using 3 1/4 discs! Thank you Steve Jobs!
 
 
 You mean, thank you Steve Wozniak. Jobs was just in the room when it happen
 
 Uh, when it happened.
 
 
 At one point, one of the guys in our computer lab (a draftee FWIW, a 
 Radar-type person) had written an OS for our CDC 3300 that allowed 
 fore-ground/back-ground dual processing. He modified our Fortran compiler 
 so that it would properly interact with his OS. I wrote Fortran code to 
 manage the I/O  data capture to/from terminals that were used by subjects 
 in my experiments. To debug my programs, I had to interpret the core dump 
 hex code to find which registers were in what state at the time of the 
 crash. Fun times!

 Actually I used to subscribe to USENET newsgroups at the first company I

 trunk line from the East Coast to California, you could trace email paths 
 from my cube in Connecticut to friends at various Universities on the East 
 Coast, from our office server it would go to our server in California 
 almost instantaneously, then spent the next couple of hours to a day or so 
 wending it's way back to the East Coast through various servers.  I don't 
 think I ever used paper tape, and never saw a punch card after graduate 
 school.  Though I did work with 75 baud communications, you could read the 
 octal on a protocol analyzer in real time.  It's a skill I'm glad I've 
 lost.

What is truly awesome is that some people actually did implement RFC 1149:

I was never much of a computer geek, but I did learn to write dial up and 
log-in threads on my Apple //c with AE Express. I started delivering digital 
docs to Popular Mechanics in the early eighties and spent time on some user 
group servers. I remember one group that was based in Jersey called Washington 
Apple Tree. Another was the Micronetworked Apple Users Group or MAUG. I think 
MAUG eventually evolved into Compuserve.

Re: PESO Muruga's lunch / first K-5II pic

2013-06-28 Thread P.J. Alling
Actually I used to subscribe to USENET newsgroups at the first company I 
worked for that had a direct internet connection, (they also had their 
own trunk line from the East Coast to California, you could trace email 
paths from my cube in Connecticut to friends at various Universities on 
the East Coast, from our office server it would go to our server in 
California almost instantaneously, then spent the next couple of hours 
to a day or so wending it's way back to the East Coast through various 
servers.  I don't think I ever used paper tape, and never saw a punch 
card after graduate school.  Though I did work with 75 baud 
communications, you could read the octal on a protocol analyzer in real 
time.  It's a skill I'm glad I've lost.

Re: PESO Muruga's lunch / first K-5II pic

2013-06-28 Thread Stan Halpin
P.J. - you are are revealed as a deprived youngster! No paper tape?!?
After a one-semester exposure to programming an IBM 1486 (IIRC) Accounting 
Machine with a big honking 15lb board that was pulled out one end so that 
jumper connections could be made to instruct the machine to tabulate, multiply 
etc., I mostly used punch cards. But I did have one year with a GE-teletype 
system that used paper tape. And of course the Commodore C-64 used cassette 
tape. Then came floppy discs. I thought I had died and gone to heaven when I 
started using 3 1/4 discs! Thank you Steve Jobs!

At one point, one of the guys in our computer lab (a draftee FWIW, a Radar-type 
person) had written an OS for our CDC 3300 that allowed fore-ground/back-ground 
dual processing. He modified our Fortran compiler so that it would properly 
interact with his OS. I wrote Fortran code to manage the I/O  data capture 
to/from terminals that were used by subjects in my experiments. To debug my 
programs, I had to interpret the core dump hex code to find which registers 
were in what state at the time of the crash. Fun times!

 P.J. - you are are revealed as a deprived youngster! No paper tape?!?
 After a one-semester exposure to programming an IBM 1486 (IIRC) Accounting 
 Machine with a big honking 15lb board that was pulled out one end so that 
 jumper connections could be made to instruct the machine to tabulate, 
 multiply etc., I mostly used punch cards. But I did have one year with a 
 GE-teletype system that used paper tape. And of course the Commodore C-64 
 used cassette tape. Then came floppy discs. I thought I had died and gone to 
 heaven when I started using 3 1/4 discs! Thank you Steve Jobs!
 
 
 You mean, thank you Steve Wozniak. Jobs was just in the room when it happen
 

Uh, when it happened.


 At one point, one of the guys in our computer lab (a draftee FWIW, a 
 Radar-type person) had written an OS for our CDC 3300 that allowed 
 fore-ground/back-ground dual processing. He modified our Fortran compiler so 
 that it would properly interact with his OS. I wrote Fortran code to manage 
 the I/O  data capture to/from terminals that were used by subjects in my 
 experiments. To debug my programs, I had to interpret the core dump hex code 
 to find which registers were in what state at the time of the crash. Fun 
 times!

 ...I don't think I ever used paper tape,...
 Actually I used to subscribe to USENET newsgroups at the first company I 
 worked for that had a direct internet connection, (they also had their own 
 trunk line from the East Coast to California, you could trace email paths 
 from my cube in Connecticut to friends at various Universities on the East 
 Coast, from our office server it would go to our server in California 
 almost instantaneously, then spent the next couple of hours to a day or so 
 wending it's way back to the East Coast through various servers.  I don't 
 think I ever used paper tape, and never saw a punch card after graduate 
 school.  Though I did work with 75 baud communications, you could read the 
 octal on a protocol analyzer in real time.  It's a skill I'm glad I've lost.

 Usenet, dial up modems starting at 300 baud, acoustic couplers, paper tape
 punching/reading at 110 baud. Ah, the memories
 
 Thank you for providing another sink hole for my time :-)

 Manual?  Hell I find it more disturbing that Larry has Cow-orkers.
 What are orkers?  That he talks to! What are orkers anyway? Sounds
 more like something that a pig would have not a cow...
 I guess you aren't old enough to remember usenet:

 BTW, the Jargon files are a wonderfully fun timesuck.
 
 Pick a word, and start following interesting looking links in the

 You can even learn about such things as scratch-monkeys:

 I was going to read the K-5II manual at lunch, and got chatting with
 my cow-orkers. They were curious about the DA35 macro, so I snapped
 this pic of Muruga's lunch.  For sucha  silly shot, I think it turned
 out pretty nice:
