I remember when 640x480 was Super VGA.  Heck I remember when 320x192 with 16 colors was the bees knees.  Then there was the Decwriter II that could do 132 columns per line.  Then there was that teletype I used...

I see Shawn's been around nearly as long as ME !  I bought an original IBM PC with single-sided 5.25 floppy disk as the only storage @ 160K per disk. And remember when I got a 20 MB hard drive for it and thought I'd NEVER need any more space than that !

I started in 1975 using mainframes that were built in the late '60s.  The first home computer I programmed was the TRS-80 Model I and saved on tape.

I guess I have you beat by several years, then. ;)

I joined the ASA (Army Security Agency) in 1970 and was schooled on mainframes at NSA (National Security Agency outside DC) in 1971. IBM 360-30, 50, and 65. There were a slew of MFs at NSA.

I was still working on mainframes until 1992 at Wells Fargo and other banks.  They were the IBM 3090 model.  I know more programming languages than is practical.  But that was another life.

Yeah, even COBOL is still around. I learned FORTRAN IV as my first language, then COBOL. And then CICS, Culinane's IDMS mainframe database system, and other stuff.

When micros came along, I did Pascal and Clipper. And both of those faded away...
