A whoosiwhatsy? Had to google that one…I’ve never even heard of them! <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terak_8510/a>; lord knows someone may have had one. I’ve got the display head of a Wang Calculator sitting on my desk that belonged to a long—ago prof in the College <http://www.oldcalculatormuseum.com/wang360e.html> No clue where the rest of it went :-/, but in 1977 I was at one of these <http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e8/IBM_card_punch_029.JPG> punching up cards in FORTRAN to run on the Uni’s mainframe. I met one person who had an Apple II in that era. This was before my 12-year long foray into biochemistry (I passed my math requirements for my BS with mostly CS courses.) Computers were just a hobby and occasional work project. (In 1984 I was working at the General Foods research labs in Tarrytown NY and got roped into writing a reporting and analysis front end for the computerization of one of our test instruments. This on a weird HP DOS-compatible running on a 68000 cpu. Their version of BASIC had HPGL built in; I had a big four-pen plotter for an output device. I got my Apple ][+ shortly thereafter, my first Mac in ’88.) That said I DID have the UCSD p-system for my Apple ][+…still do around the house somewhere, if the disks haven’t disintegrated into dust. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
