First computer had no display just a series of orange diode tubes which showed numbers 0 to 9. All it could do was mathematical calculations. We wrote code using 5 hole punch paper tape. At the end of computer class to save your work you just roled up your program around your finger. Didn't have to worry about viruses back then just making sure you didn't accidentally tear your tape.







This was my first calculator. Made by Texas Instruments in 1972. A lot of you young guys weren't even born yet. I couldn't stop playing with this gadget. It was amazing how it could instantly calculate any amount of numbers.
