matt - the stuff dave and I were doing was about the time you were born.. although, I was on the tail end ... I remember having to run language for print commands.. when I went into the army we were on 32xx series..

Hey I've actually programmed in basic and saved to those cassettee tapes too, Dave.. did you have one of those?

Yeah, as kids we were pretty cutting edge. We had an Atari 400, Commodore Vic 20, Commodore 64. Our high school had Apple IIe and IIgs machines. My dad still has the Atari 400 with the cassette drive. That was a pretty cool machine, although the membrane keyboard sucked to type on.

Yup, we had an Apple 400 too. I can still hear the "puc puc puc..." of hittng that keyboard.

LOL! Old for Subzali is probably something clunky like a Pentium 2 with a 40 GB HDD and, gasp, no USB! I remember when the AutoCAD lab got all new 486DX4 with Windoze 3.1 machines to replace the plain old 386 and 486 machines. Yeah, that was a very good day in the history of Southeast Missouri industrial technology labs! My second college roommate had a bitchin' 286 machine that we played Tetris and solitaire on all the time, well between CHiPs reruns and drinking a lot.

Righto, misunderstood what you meant by punch cards. My dad I think has mentioned something about the punch cards you guys are talking about. Yeah you're a bunch of old farts
