Reminisce

Just wanted a ‘fun’ topic for New Years Day.

Think back about some of the first hardware or software that you worked on / with.

My exposure to computers started in test equipment for electronics manufacturing.

Some of the first computers I worked on had:

magnetic core memory

paper tape readers

teletypes for ‘user’ interface

8″ hard sectored geographically addressed floppy drives

no crt

My fondest memories are of the HP 85 all-in-one calculator/computer/controller.

It seamed like we could find no task that this little PC could not accomplish.
