...I learned computer programming with keypunch cards on an IBM 360 in the mid seventies using binaryhex. That computer was HUGE, took up a whole room! My laptop would run circles around it now.

I also got online for the first time in 1984. Compuserve, all text, a 300 bps modem (all ASCII text, 300 baud worked great), you placed your phone handset into a cradle that passed the data beeps through the mouth and ear pieces of the phone, $36/hour plus long distance phone charges. We've come a long way...
