Whoa! With that sort of advanced capability, you'll even be able to run "Adventure For The Stupid" (tm): 10 print "You are in a cave..." 20 line input I$ 30 goto 10

Tempting, but the boss at the time was too savvy for that kind of sneakiness.

In my first programming class we had these workstations with an 8080A, an octal keypad, and 3 rows of 8 LEDs (with pin-outs if you wanted to be fancy and wire up a 7-segment). I can't seem to find it on Google, though.

My first computer (actually my employers) was a Burroughs main frame (!) with 9.6k memory, no disk, mag tapes, no operating system.

I used a similar set up called a D5 if I remember right, 6802 based though

My first computer was a simple Base 10 analog machine. It had 2 parts attached to the end of my arms. I still have it and use it when I don't want to be bothered with an IDE to hammer screws in or pound nails with a screwdriver.

I think that should be classed as 'digit'al, not analogue.

Me too! 70s kids REPRESENT! (I was pretty jealous later when all my friends got Commodore 64s. :|

I can't resist as well: started with a PDP-8 with 8kB Memory (real magnetic rings with 4 wires...) and punch tape.

Fingers? You were lucky to have fingers. Luxury!

Well, for that he (and you) can just install Atom.io[^]

I think I looked at that a few years ago.

[TheGreatAndPowerfulOz]

A few "years" ago? :omg: It's only just recently been released... Perhaps you're a time traveler?:thumbsup:

Well, it sounds like something I looked at a few years ago. Maybe someone stole the name? Or one was built on the ruins of the other? Or maybe I'm thinking of this: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4767960/Introducing-Atom.aspx[^]

[TheGreatAndPowerfulOz]

You're thinking of the latter, but that was the "beta". It is now out of beta and has been "released". There was a post about it in the last few weeks in the "Insider News" forum.
