Al, We go back even farther. You taught me to do my first ANOVA's on those electro-mechanical calculators. I don't remember the brand, but I do remember spending hours in one of the cubicles in the lab, running the calculations while listening to the whir and chunk of the machines. And then going back and doing it all again to make sure that the first calculation was correct.
Those hours were one of the things that motivated me to learn to write statistical programs for that time share system. I had to store those programs on punched paper tapes. I still have at least one of those paper tapes in a desk drawer somewhere at home. Unless one of my kids pulled it out and used it for confetti at some New Year's party. Dennis Dennis M.

Remember the time-share system shared by Lynchburg College, Randolph Macon Women's College, and Sweet Briar where the console was an ASR-33 teletype with paper tape to save files and programs to. We had to write our own statistical analysis programs, load them on the computer downtown, load the data, and wait around for the printout on a roll of non-paginated paper. Not quite right; we did have a little program that put in 10 dashes every 101/2 inches.
