Gawd I remember those days in college between in 1979 and 1980. Getting them all punched then turning them in to get them run.. only to wait and find out that something was wrong in one of the very first cards. From 1981 to 83 when I graduated, we got to use terminals that bogged down based on what they were doing with the mainframes at the time.
Had a TRS80 Model one at home just before that also.
Then terminals and PCs for accounting jobs after that. I'll never forget thos one 'portable' in the early '80s. It was larger than today's computer boxes and the keyboard actually was the bottom of the machine when it was closed up. The screen might have been 5 x 5.
