Seems you are a few years before into computers. I started programming
on (I think) a TRS80 in 1978 or 1979. Although I might have encountered
a computer before that at my summer holiday job, which had something to
do with punched cards. My first serious mainframe was a CDC Cyber
stationed at SARA, the computer facility in Amsterdam in 1982.
I just found some stuff from that era. Yip does bring back memories.
