Yea, but these are fun sorts of threads, even if off topic (no
version of Xastir would run on the old stuff we're talking about).

First programming class was using punched cards and a line printer,
Fortran.  I never saw the computer, and didn't even know which
building it was in.

The ham club at college (W7YH, 2 years older than the ARRL) had an
ASR33? and a punched tape reader/writer, also a Robot 70 SSTV
monitor and an audio reel-to-reel for recording/playing back the
SSTV signals.  Had a blast with all that, but having more fun with
Linux/Unix and connecting to radios.
