I'm 46. My first (and only formal) CS course was conducted using teletypes and a mainframe in Canada, while I was in Phoenix AZ: the McGill University System for Interactive Computing, or MUSIC, which taught us BASIC.

There was a card reader in the building, but I never used it for anything. I did use up a lot of fan-fold paper, though, as this was an actual clatter-type teletype, not one of your fancy "glass terminals".

It was very nice to spend the god-awful summer in a 70° room...

I read about a study that managers overestimate the salaries of their peers and those managers below them and underestimate the salary of peers above. I think maybe for me a similar mechanism occurred with age. Hmmmm...

Good luck with that one! It would be too funny if you did. :)
