Hauled stacks of punchcards with survey data up to the Computer Center at Cal Berkeley, returning in about two days for the printout.

jjpurdum Member Profile All Messages By This Member #33394 When I first got interested in programming microcomputers, I was teaching at Econ at Butler. There was no CS department there, so a colleague and I taught a one-day seminar for the business community on how small computers would benefit their businesses, using the funds to purchase and build 8 SOL-20 kit computers for a COBA computer lab (mainly stats and Lotus 123). Shortly after that, I applied for an NSF grant to study microcomputers in education and got to attend a week-long class with a small group of other professors. The class was taught by David and Peter (Rony). They taught us assembler on a KIM-1, a computer with 256 *bytes* of memory! Fun times!
