When I first managed to lay my fingers on a computer it wasn't actually a computer I layed my hands on. 't was but a terminal. In the historical sense. Just an end-point. In this case a card reader and a line printer attached to some DEC PDP-11 mini which was via modem connected to a CDC 6600 AKA Cyber. It is true. I wrote my first OO program on hollerith cards back in '78. When I still had hair ;).
