I remember writing my first programs in BASIC on a RS/TSCE mainframe at the local college. All students using the computer, even high school kids like me, had a whopping 40K of storage available to them! A few computer majors would request additional space if they were working on an especially long and complex program.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane, FMF. I remember all of the things listed above. Truthfully, I learned how to type on a manual typewriter in high school. There were 2 electric typewriters in the class, but the teacher insisted on everyone learning on a manual in order to develop the correct pressure for our key strokes.

Computers? I remember the 1st ones that were as big as a room. You heard about them in movies.
