I wrote my first programs 49 years ago for a Pegasus computer -- no high level language, no assembler, size of a house and using valves (tubes to the Americans). 39 bit word, and 32 words of memory. Never got to understand the delay-line stuff, but I was quite young. Tape, cards, switches .... first UK on-line system, seem to have done it all. Loved assembler; adored microcode. Miss real Lisp, and end up writing C. ==John ffitch -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
