August 31st, 2007 01:39 PM #12i was six when my dad brought home a 386 computer. i played mario PC, and wolfenstein 3d on it. hehe.
i also cried when it got a virus. a friend of mine dropped by to install a batman game. turns out his floppy had a virus, and it caused the PC to crash. i was crying my heart out because i thought my dad would kill me for destroying the PC. but all went well when a computer technician my mom called fixed it.

I remember writing lines of COBOL code on a sheet of paper similar to a graphing paper, where each block represents an alhpanumeric character. Most of the time, one app amounts to a thick wad of these things. We either then punch them in on the machine, or ask any of our juniors to do it for us. However, nothing beats the sheer time consuming activity of punching code on punch cards. One mistake, that's it and since each card has to be arranged sequentially, you better have a numbering system in place on your cards because you might trip on your way to the computer room and scatter every single bit of card on the floor - arranging them would be next to impossible.

+1 here. this is my first computer.
i remember programming in it using Basic.
my second one, is an IBM Compatible PC/XT, with green monitors, 64 KB RAM with no harddisk. Everything runs on a floppy disk.
i remembered too, working with an IBM S/34 mainframe computer. To be able to IPL it, you have to insert a very big floppy disk inside its huge floppy disk drive.

Heck, another ex-Commodore 64 user here.
Used it primarily for games when I was a kid. And before I had any real chance to use it to learn programming language, my cousin had to go and short it out, permanently damaging it in the process. :cry:
