Oh, trust me, I learned to program when there was no such thing as a "font" other than WHAT YOUR TELETYPE PRINTED OUT IN UPPER CASE BECAUSE THAT WAS ALL WE HAD.

Hey, any other old-timers here? Did that UPPERCASE TEXT make you hear the chunkity-chunk-chunk sound of an Model 33 ASR cranking away at ten characters per second? Cannot be unheard!
I don't know if I am more productive now, but as much as that sound makes me sentimental, I think I am glad to be rid of it.
