See today’s Ziggy cartoon.☺Back in the 1964-1965 school year at the Milwaukee School of Engineering I worked with Fortran and punch cards. Woe be to anybody who dropped a stack of punch cards. Fortunately for me I never did drop any. BTW, I dropped out after a year, because I flunked calculus twice, and joined the USAF.
My brother-in-law was amazingly good at “clowns.” The worst part was that he was such a bad winner. He’d hoot and make fun of everyone when he was winning.
Never really played video games – you had to go to a bar or arcade back in the late 70s/early 80s. Things moved quickly, though. I went to college with a typewriter and left with a PC. Still clunky – even word processing took ages, as you had to type in special codes for every little thing. But my oh my did those 5 1/4" floppy discs make me feel high tech.
when I was a kid my parents would not let me in arcades, I believe there was an age restriction anyways (not sure about that). But I kept playing pc games (most of them pirated), and even made some of my own (to play those right now I would use dosbox. Cpus today are too fast and if I don’t delay de cpu clock, it will end as soon as i start it). At first I did not know people sold games, I just thought people who made games was just because of fun and wanted to share their work
