I started high school 40 years ago, and took Electronics shop as an elective in my final year. The instructor was a radio ham who had a working rig there in the class (VE3SIC, if anyone cares...). Wwere told that the following year, they would stop teaching tubes and go solid state. David Gillett -----Original Message----- From: Bradley, Stephen W.

I spent many an hour programming by the front panel switches in Octal. I still remember 210000base8 is an unconditional jump. :-) My first personal computer was a Sphere circa '78-79 with tape and TV RF-Out. Had a Motorola 6800 and 1k of 8 bit memory. I guess after working 41 actual years with electronics (started with tubes) I'd be classified as either a fossil or an oldtimer. Steve Stephen W.

Only it was on a 360/50 way back in '69 when I started. NDSU had gone from an IBM 1620 to an IBM 360/50 with the help of an NSF loan about a year earlier. For a while there was such a gap in processing speed we'd actually shut down the computer in the evening. ;-) Marty Jeff Kell wrote:
