Yeah. The good old days. Unit record machines, punch cards, key punches, paper tape, 8" floppies, disc packs, 64K memory. When being a computer guy was more like science fiction than it is today. Ahh, the cold dry air of a raised floor computer room, the smell, the hum, the opening and closing of printer hoods, the flashing lights and spinning mag tapes.
I remember when a computer would boot in three seconds. And if your game was taking ages to load you could just change the channel :)
Ahh, the good old days. I don't miss BASIC though.
