I started with Fortran 4 and hand-punched cards which were posted to Imperial College London. Later used a card-punching machine with keyboard. Next was a terminal which connected to Honeywell Glasgow via a modem (wait for reply then put phone headset into modem holder), and BASIC on punched tape.
Didn't get a home computer till 1997, when I bought a PowerMac 7300.
Luxury. There were 150 of us programming in a cardboard box in t' middle of t' road. :D
