Does anyone else remember making pictures on greenbar paper of ships,
Well, once for some obscure reasonı we had a drawing in the math department where the advertised prize was a "100-foot yacht." The "100-foot yacht" turned out to be a stack of said continuous-form printer paper which, when extended, was 100 feet² long, with the word "YACHT" printed over and over and over . . .
ıIsn't "They are _math_ majors" explanation enough?
²Sorry, Alberto, this was done on an IBM 1403 printer³, which used paper that was sized in inches, not centimeters.
³Anyone else here ever use one of those? Remember what would happen when the paper control tape finally wore out and broke in the middle of a print job?
people, etc?
Something like this, perhaps, which some geek with no prospects of access to the real thingı would spend hours creating and then hang on the wall of the computer room (Whoever heard of a _female_ CS major in those days) or his dorm room²?
ıNot me. ²I never lived in a dorm, either.
