I programmed my first computer (the school's, not mine) via a set of 
toggle switches and a pushbutton to enter the binary info into memory.  
I have no recollection of the make/model or limitations.  It was 10 
years before the Altair, CP/M and the 8080 chip.  It was 6 years after 
the first transistorized computer, the Philco 2000.  I worked on a 2000 
about 5 years later, however.  And at the time, I thought. "Boy, am I 
getting in this game too late!".

Jim.
