Age and Computing History

[Max]

Well,

Well born in 1963.  I had always been interested in electronics and 
such.  My first computer experiences were in high school.  The school had a 
TRS80 Model 1 and
accounts on the university's PDP11/45.  I had bought a CoCo 1 with 
4K!  This was in my senior year.  I go to the same university.  It was 
Western Kentucky University (WKU).  They still used the PDP11/45 with 
RSTE.  Additionally, they had access to UK's IBM 360 via a smaller PDP11 
with a card reader.

So I got started with card readers and terninals.  We ran a pirate exchange 
with the microcomputer lab etc. Fun times.  I ended up buying the 
PDP11/45.  Unfortunately a unplnanned move ocurred and I could not find 
anyone to take it.  So sadly it went to the scrappers.  This was before the 
Internet.  I did keep the console panel.
