Some Computing Nostalgia

Computers have been part of my life since the early 1980’s, when I started entering BASIC programs on the Commodore VIC-20 from code listings printed in books and magazines. The oldest surviving specimen of my early work is a horse race program I co-wrote with a classmate in 12th grade. It was written in Pascal on the Apple IIe, and compiling it was slow!

I have never actually used punch cards but this one is real and I still have it.
