Yes. On thinking about it it was the early 80s. Remember the Timex Sinclair and the Tandy TRS-80? I think I had a Sinclair, but I don't remember it much. I kind of poo-poo'd the early hobby machines because I had a Digital 11/23 at home, and my partner had a DG Nova 1200. Our first "small" machine was a DEC "Robin," a VT100 with a Z80 CP/M machine tucked in. .... Time was far too expensive to let the programmers anywhere near the machine itself. After several years of cards decks and 300 baud phone lines, my first real programming job was with a DG mini-computer where we "owned" the machine 100%. It was a real trip to see the lights flash as I ran my program. I never went back to the "mainframe world" after that. |
