Barry Rowlingson@kibcol1049 I'm so old I remember when the internet was in black and white and they played an mp3 of the national anthem before it shut down every night.

@trouble @geospacedman @kibcol1049 Wasn't there a time when the internet was a line printer? Before my time, but I recall whispers from the founding folks.
@AncTreat5358 @geospacedman @kibcol1049 I think you mean teletypes (i.e /dev/tty), but yes. I am not that old. I have never used punch card or tape either.

I have both programmed with punchcards, and maintained supercomputers with tape. I may be an Elder. 🤷🏻♀️🤘🏼🥳. Why I remember when we telnet into each others bbs, and we liked it!

I missed punchcards by about a year, d we got to use the snazzy new 80 column green screen monitors 😃

oooooh fancy! (to be honest, the only reason I had a punchcard class is because I was 14 or 15 taking uni classes at a tech college. They were already being deprecated, this course was more history than future planning.)
