@sjvn "you people wouldn't believe" - oh, the nerve of this guy! Netscape, AltaVista? phew, that's modern time - I still remember BBS, FidoNet and Usenet over UUCP...

@denix @sjvn I am so old that the first computer I used was a mainframe at the University of Colorado Denver with punch cards and Fortran.

@cherylgk @denix @sjvn The first computer I used was a timesharing system run by my school district, with which I communicated on a Model 33 teletype and which I could program in BASIC. And then, two years later, I started at Colorado University (Boulder) and I got to use the CDC 6400 with punch cards and Fortran.
