My first time sitting down to use a computer was in 1966 or so; as I recall I was using a 110-baud ASR 33 terminal.

My first programming class was in 1971. I was taught BASIC. My first program solved quadratic equations.

My first experience with Multics (a precursor to Unix) was in 1979. I think my first use of Unix was around 1981 or 1982.
my God...i hadn't even born yet...So to say, you've seen the computer from it's early age till now..ok, maybe this is stupid question, but i have to ask this : what did you di back then with the ASR-33? Do you still have it?

i think it's pretty cool to show ASR-33 to your grandson later
