whippper snappers. My first (owned) computer was its predecessor, the Commodore 64.
and I'd learned basic programing on TRS 80's and occasionally the school's mainframe, which I think i've mentioned in the past used like a 300 baud Accoustic coupler. thats right, not a modem per sey, but an actual accoustic coupler you'd manually dial and then plug the handset into when the other end picked up and started the handshake protocol!
Oh yeah, and the fortran punchcards. Can't forget those; much as I'd like to.
Hear that thunder rolling till it seems to split the sky?
That's every ship in Grayson's Navy taking up the cry-
NO QUARTER!!!
