Ah, the good old days!
I started my computer experience punching IBM cards and submitting them to the campus IBM 360. What a pain! Then the lab bought a Digital MINC and a mile high stack of manuals that I was supposed to understand. It had two huge floppy disks and fortran and basic. I was supposed to develop a data base program for our lab data and I had no training in computers! Fortran was horrible, I finally resorted to a customized version of Pascal. My home computer was a TRS80 . Then the IBM PC came out with Word and Excell and compiled basic and computer programming became fun. It was so much easier to program in DOS before Windows, you wrote a program and ran it. Windows made things much more complicated. Then the Internet came along and the world changed. Now everybody has their own secret access to loads of PORN!
