Tony: Off list.
1969, (with help from friends) I built my first computer using dual logic analyzers. Programmed in binary and saved programs to paper tape. In 1971, (with help from friends) I wrote “Ginp Gnop" (ping pong spelled backward) using a black/white TV with a couple pots. Hard-wired my first assembly language. In 1965, wrote my first Fortran program at Los Angeles Valley college in a class called “Introduction to Engineering” in the “ Engineering department” — long before colleges had a "Computer Science” department. Before that, I was wondering what the opening in my underwear was for.
