RE: [OT] Ancient computing
I know I've come late to this thread - but my first was a couple of logarithmic potentiometers and a meter - analogue computing at it simplest - but it worked and provided the battery was not going flat remarkably accurate - at least as good as the slide rules we all had at that time. - eh! what where did I put my hearing aid... db -Original Message- From: Ray Madigan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 04 March 2003 23:38 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: [OT] Ancient computing Well - lets see: Does older win this contest :-) My first computing experience was in high school.

Re: [OT] Ancient computing
I can go one better! When I was a kid, my dad took me to the company he was installing a system for and they had a room with a *valve* computer!!! It had plug boards and everything *sniff sniff* and they let me have a play before they ripped it out. All those cables... Then, when I was working for Rolls Royce, we got to program the lathes using punch cards! Bloody marvelous!! Hours of mindless tedium and bordom!

RE: [OT] Ancient computing
Here in South Africa technology was in the same state in the late 70s and early 80s. Doing computer studies meant complete coding sheet this week next week receive punch cards and compile report if successfull compile you may even get an execution report. 8 programs took the whole year to complete. We actually went to visit the computer room half-way through our senior year as a class trip. By that time I already had a ZX Spectrum and was laughing my at this room ful of computer with not much more capability the my little spectrum. -Original Message- From: Pani, Gourav [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 05 March, 2003 17:47 To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: [OT] Ancient computing ok so i am a kid. first computer - 386. -Original Message- From: Bueno Carlos M [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 10:46 AM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: [OT] Ancient computing Dang, I must be a youngster -- mine were a Zenith-Heath kit computer running CP/M and an Atari 400 with BASIC. -Original Message- From: Kandi Potter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 9:34 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: [OT] Ancient computing My guess is early 70sbecause my first experience was also in high school using an old IBM System ?? with 64k memory.It took up a complete room.You saved your program by not dropping the punch cards.

I love my laptop, well, I shouldn't call it a laptop-- more properly termed a mobile desktop since the beautiful 16 screen leaves you with about 2 hours of battery life at a given sitting (I leave it plugged in all the time). For the mobile P4 processor, I've been extremely happy with the performance, apps load up in a flash. Granted you have to do some tweaking to remove all of the pre-installed Sony applications. The screen though is like a billboard, just amazing, running at 1280x1024, everything is crisp and colorful. Make sure you get some kind of service coverage, the batteries for it will run you about 400 dollars US.

RE: [OT] Ancient computing
My first experience with programming was on a TI-994A. Had 4K RAM, I think, and no storage. Yes, you heard me right: no storage. Not a floppy. I would write a program and as soon as I turned the computer off it was gone forever. My mom eventually bought me a tape recorder so I could save my stuff. I had to hit record then issue some command and it would start wailing into the tape recorder at somewhere around 110 bps. Ahhh yes, those were the days. A few years after this I graduated to one of the gray Mac 512k's. That was the last time I had a Mac, dammit!

RE: [OT] Ancient computing
The first computer I used was a PDP-8/I. It had 12K of 12 bit memory. You used an ASR-33 teletype to talk to it. You had to toggle in the boot program via the front panel, then load a paper tape, then load another paper tape. It ran Edusystem 30 BASIC from DEC. The next year, our school graduated to a PDP 8/a, which had a DECWriter for a console and an 8 floppy drive. You could use BASIC, or FORTRAN II, or program it in raw assembler. The operating system was OS/8, the precursor to CP/M, and later DOS. My first home computer (after owning a GE Terminet 300 terminal and a 300 baud modem in a wooden box for a while) was a TRS-80 level 1, 32K of RAM!

RE: [OT] Ancient computing
The first computer I used ran a simple assembler and had about 1k of memory. I think it was a TI. You had to toggle programs in or use the attachable card reader (you had to feed them by hand, one at a time). There wasn't a card punch, so I had to work out the codes and punch them by hand. Didn't need no stinking IDE. Of course, it took hours to set up something that would loop, test and branch.

Well - lets see: Does older win this contest :-) My first computing experience was in high school. We had a room in the science lab with an old IBM computer - I think at one time it was the state of the art mainframe. But you would program with toggle switches, and you could save your program to rolls of punch paper. If the paper role tore or got bent you were out of luck. Anyone wanna guess how long ago that was.
