Anybody else who was born in the '70s ever use their father's punch cards to build card houses? I found that they were much much better at supporting my larger structures and hung onto a whole stack of 'em for about 7 years before they faded out of where I put them... (got lost / stopped caring).
At high school before the Apple ]['s came in we used a teletype that was hooked up to NCSU where we could run a bunch of programs whose main purpose I believe was to waste paper. I used to know all of the chip-level details (what each chip did), memory space, cycle counts etc for the Commodore. Now things have gotten so complex and only standardized through driver interfaces that I miss the chip-level type programming that you could do... On 2/8/07, William Sutton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Adding to the younger-but-older stories. I was born in the mid-70's. I remember the punch cards, cradle modems, and line printers where my father went to school. In fact, I actually used the punch cards myself (for bookmarks :-D ) -- William Sutton
