First owned: Atari 130XE, 6502 processor at 1mhz, 128k RAM (via bank switching), one floppy drive, running AtariDOS 2.0 or 2.5, and PaperClip word processing software (neat, because it had a spell-checker), and VisiCalc, (of course); hooked to an Epson LQ800 24-pin dot matrix printer. Running (or attempting to run) 6502 assembly language on the mother was fun....
First used: Univac 1108 and IBM 7094, programming in FORTRAN, BASIC, ALGOL, SNOBOL, and Univac Assembler...punch cards typed on an IBM 029 keypunch machine or on paper tape. FASTRAN Drum storage on the Univac, Discpacks on the IBM.
