It took up a complete room. You saved your program by not dropping the punch cards. If your program didn't have any compile errors, it would be 20 minutes executing until the output came out on the printer ! -----Original Message----- From: Ray Madigan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 6:38 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: [OT] Ancient computing Well - lets see: Does older win this contest :-) My first computing experience was in high school. We had a room in the science lab with an old IBM computer - I think at one time it was the state of the art mainframe. But you would program with toggle switches, and you could save your program to rolls of punch paper. If the paper role tore or got bent you were out of luck. Anyone wanna guess how long ago that was.

Facade was easy. Iterator was hard and took up a lot of rocks. :) -----Original Message----- From: awc [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 6:02 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: [OT] Ancient computing TI-994A - which could generate tow tones same time. very cool machine. .anil James Childers wrote: > My first experience with programming was on a TI-994A. Had 4K RAM, I think, and no storage. Yes, you heard me right: no storage. Not a floppy. I would write a program and as soon as I turned the computer off it was gone forever. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
