Age and Computing History

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. Max
