Actually, since you ask, 35 years ago I had such fun with a teletype,
Dartmouth College Basic (I still have the manual) and a time-sharing

On-Line System? Wow. I would have given a lot for that capability in
1965. Punch cards were the only thing available. No disk--no tty. Did
you ever have to punch cards in binary? You younger guys had it easy.
Punch cards, dropping the unnumbered decks, attempting to read cards
that had not been interpreted... Never been there. :)
