I don't know if I'd confess to using PUFFT :). ISTR that you could
just about dump a deck of cards scavenged from the trash into it and
get a program that ran.
Was that before they got the CDC 6500? I know at one point they had
a pair of 7094s working as I/O processors and PUFFT
compilers/interpreters. And what, a 1401?
