  @nixCraft My first PC had an 8088 CPU, 512 KB of memory, 4.77 MHz speed, and dual 360k 5¼" floppy disks. It did not include a hard disk.

  @nixCraft I cut my programming (Fortran) teeth on an ASR33 with a paper tape attachment (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletype_Model_33). Great for confetti. CDs wouldn't come out for a couple of decades.

  1. Teletype Model 33
    
    The Teletype Model 33 is an electromechanical teleprinter designed for light-duty office use. It is less rugged and cost less than earlier Teletype models. The Teletype Corporation introduced the Model 33 as a commercial product in 1963, after it had originally been designed for the United States Navy. The Model 33 was produced in three versions: Model 33 ASR (Automatic Send and Receive), which has a built-in eight-hole punched tape reader and tape punch; Model 33 KSR (Keyboard Send and Receive), which lacks the paper tape reader and punch; Model 33 RO (Receive Only) which has neither a keyboard nor a reader/punch.The Model 33 was one of the first products to employ the newly standardized ASCII character encoding method, which was first published in 1963. A companion Model 32 used the older, established five-bit Baudot code. Because of its low price and ASCII compatibility, the Model 33 was widely used with early minicomputers, and the large quantity of the teleprinter sold strongly influenced several de facto standards that developed during the 1960s and 1970s.

  @nixCraft I have hundreds of hours of experience of developing Z80 assembly code (and graphics etc) on a single cassette player. It's a long cycle by the time you're testing the end product that uses every byte of the 48K available to you.

  @nixCraft As a gen z, I always feel weird when I see any mention of these technologies. My childhood was filled with Cassette tapes , CDs and keypad phones. So, I am not sure where do I fit in as far as tech is concerned.

  @nixCraft I'm "print it out old". After that it was "write it to an 8" floppy old". Then "write it to a 5 1/4" floppy old". Then "Write to a 3 1/2 inch floppy old". It will take a while to get to CD's.
