What is this newfangled "CD" of which you speak? Is it anything like a 5¼" floppy? :-D

Mark TwainI'm old enough to remember seeing the original "[Lee Iacocca](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee\_Iacocca) is an autoexec" being used in signatures. (for a timeframe reference, he retired in 1992).

Mark TwainDouble fun for me since (1) I'm old enough to get the joke and (2) my house is old, so we get bats inside(*) late every summer. (*) They sneak in via our screened-in porch. I get to catch them and release them outside, usually at 2:00 a.m. after being woke up by SWMBO.

Mark Twainyoung whippersnapper... I remember cold start cards.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Mark Twainin 83 I had a cpm system running at 4Mhz with an 8" floppy, But also a 10 MEGA BYTE external hard drive, with removable platters. Luxury. The rest of the system was crap. Filled up my car if I took it home to work. Ah. The good old days. ASM all the way.

At least we no longer have to worry about kinky hard drives that insist on a master slave relationships...

I learned my first BASIC using one of those - located in the school's bomb shelter: Huge room with concrete walls, floor and ceiling. Just the right acoustics for a TTY! Down in my basement, I have still got a few of those paper tapes. (I also got a small pile of punch cards. As well as a core dump, in the physical sense: A frame with 1152 ferrite rings weaved together. I have no idea about the contents of those 1152 bits.)
-
We had three teletypes in high school. Connected to a PDP-8 and PDP-12 at the university across town via acoustic coupler. One day someone dumped the hopper full of the holes from the punched tape all over the floor.

Fixed typos: Where's config, sis?

I started that way -- with punched tape, a teletype and remote GE time-share system using some flavor of BASIC.
