This brings back memories of the way they used to teach programming. I had to learn some SNOBOL for a class, but to this day I've never written a line of it. We didn't even have access to such machines. Lectures were done on a chalkboard. The few programming assignments (in Pascal?) were done on our own in a lab elsewhere on campus. We'd print out the program and output and it'd be graded by hand.
