I was never a noob. 8)

Seriously, I've been at this stuff since before there were even dialup BBSs that you accessed via terminals. My first modem for the home computer was a 300 baud JCat. I wrote my own terminal emulator (for the Atari 400/800) to log onto my mainframe account at the uni from home. No more waiting in line! YAY!! :w00t: :laugh:

Likewise.:ohmy: Same thing with most people on the board, prolly.
 
I cut my teeth on 8080, 6502, and Z80 assembly on old systems... the Apple, Apple ][, Atari 400, TRaSh-80... but I'm not as hardcore as some friends who cut their teeth on old KIM computers and the like. These folks were entering programs via dip switches. :D

The most fun I had was engineering classes where we used Fortran on punch cards for our programs. The punch card machines rarely had ink in the ribbons (they printed the character along with the punch so you could read the cards), so I (and most of my classmates) got really good at reading punches. Saddest (and funniest) thing I ever saw was some poor sap who tripped and spilled ten boxes of punch cards all over the floor.
 
It wasn't too bad as long as you kept the cards straight (and learned to read punches). One line per card, all the cards in the order you wish the lines to be in. Just set the whole batch into the reader and it inputs each card into the computer (unless the reader freaks out and eats your cards instead).
