A high-Level language was FORTRAN.
It's still correct to classify FORTRAN as a high-level language. C
gets lower, and Assember is about as low as it gets these days.
Maybe you never explored the delights of bit-twiddling with variant arrays in

Fountain pens were a special delight to those of us who are left-
handed. I'd drag my hand over the still-wet ink, smearing my paper and
depositing an ugly blue stain on the side of my hand.

Fountain pen!??
We had monitors before anyone could afford a fountain pen. Ink monitors.
It was their job each morning for a week to fill up the inkwell on each

write. Nibbed pens were fun. You could use them to flick ink across
