This stirs up old, old memories.
I began programming on an IBM 360 using Fortran and PL1. Then we got a
PDP 8e (8kb memory - iron core type - and a tape drive and teletype. To
get much done on those machines you pretty well had to learn assembler
so I learned PAL3 assembler.  Never had so much fun although those paper
tapes from the tty were a pain.

Now I guess you have a good idea of my age [:-)]
