I took Basic programming my freshman year at UMASS back in the 7O’s. We had to store/load our coding on binary punch cards. I remember spilling a beer on my completed program assignment punch card and had to totally redo it from the beginning. My first computer, an IBM PC Jr., had to be booted up with the DOS operating system loaded each time with a floppy disc. Back then who could have imagined how powerful a phone could be, our phone hung on the wall and had a rotary dial.
