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! stan On Jun 28, 2013, at 3:28 PM, P.J.

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.
