Yes I remember the old mainframes, 8" floppies, accoustic couplers, tape drives and punch cards! Remember those TI SR-52 programable calculators? How about the Osborne 1 and Compaq Portable? COBOL & Fortran?

Yeah... my grandaddy used to tell me about that stuff - and I'm 54. That must make you guys 130 or so?
Seriously, I remember in 1983 our agency got an IBM DispayWriter with dual 9 inch floppies. When we got the first version of UL software, if we wanted to calculate a premium solve, we would input the data, hit calculate, and then go to lunch. In about an hour we would have our illustration. We could either print it out on our Epson dot-matrix printer or we could work from the color monitor (green is a color, right?).

Today there would be a safety warning on them.
Girdles can cut off finger cirulation or four rows of Maiden Bra clasp can chip a tooth. Or sudden release can take out an eye.
