My very first programming job was in 1991 or 92 writing an interactive kiosk based upon a touch screen driven by an Amiga, using the multimedia platform Scala (quite similar to the later Macromedia Director, but it still exists). Then with a colleague we developed an interactive phone application (the sort that asks you to "press 1 for this, press 2 for that, press # to go back to the menu") on a SCO Unix system, in some sort of weird BASIC. While one of us tested the application on the phone, the other one played "X-whack-a-mole" :)
