I remember when you had to dial the phone and wait for the carrier signal, then slap it down on the teletypewriter and hope you logged in before the mainframe would hang up. Oh the grand evolutionary step up to the portable Silent 700 terminal. Same thing only 250 pounds lighter. Punch cards and paper tape were the shit. No typing in 500 lines of basic, Just code the cards and run em through the reader. Oregon trail was the game of choice. Too bad Apple had to come along and make life easy on everyone. Thats the way it was and we liked it!
