Isn't that all stuff our memories are triggered by?
To me it's a stack of forms I used to write my first assembler
lines on or the old Underwood I wrote my first CVs for job
interviews on.
Just lately I saw an old IBM 300 (a monster!) and it happened to
be the same one I saw my first program run on in 1968. It's now
in a museum.
To our grandkids the laptop will be the same as to us is the
keypunch machine. That's the way it is...
