My first computer on which I worked was Fortran 20! It was 26 years back! Now the things have changed drastically since then! Then Computer was a big room and there was no display unit. The data was to be loaded with the help of punch Cards which were to be separately punched by a punching machine! This was a big calculating machine than a Computer you can say that it was only used for calculations to process some big data! I used this Computer during my Post Graduation to calculate some statistical values pertaining to my thesis work! Do you remember which was your first Computer on which you worked ? Please respond! Thanks !

We had a Zentith 100 and a Compter Based Processor (CBT), back in the mid 80's. It was basically a huge word processor with a printer attached. Thing used to rumble when we printed anything out, but it worked like a charm. The Zenith was a piece of junk compared to it!

I also had a Commodore 64.

Wow! So you basically experienced those computers that are now obsolete nowadays! I worked on the modern ones and newly invented computers which we usually see on sale. I never experienced those kinds and you used before.
