- lamby 16y agoYou were lucky. When I was a lad there were only 3 Yorkshiremen in that sketch.
- iuguy 16y ago3! Paradise! We never had 3 Yorkshiremen, we had to make do with a pair of pythons, a goodie and Doctor Frankensteins' henchman. And we didn't even have an abacus to program on, we had to make do with fingers and toes and pretend they were turing compliant. And some of us didn't even have toes or fingers!

- raganwald 16y agoBefore going to school, and thereafter in the summer, I do remember writing WATFIV and SNOBOL programs on punch cards, but I used a card punch machine to create them.

- russell 16y agoYou think you're joking. I remember having to use a $5000 box of real fan fold vellum to print a short document as specified by some govt contract or other.
- thwarted 16y agoYou had zeros and ones? We only had ones, until one day someone discovered a zero when he accidentally subtracted two ones.
