XYZ... I remember back we had networked a text based Star Trek game... back when printouts were on punch tape and we were dialed in from dumb terminals that looked like teletype machines... no CRT screen even. Maybe 1976 or '77?  It was a huge leap in tech from 'Hunt the Wumpus'. Somehow when I was a kid I got into some university computer courses and learned ForTran; got access to the local university keypunches and mainframes, you would drop off a big card stack job and pick up the run results later printed on wide accordion fold pin feed paper...  I remember the magic of the first time I saw a rotating cube on an amber screen. Times change. BTW I just turned 42 a couple of weeks ago.
