Our first monitor was 9" b&w and I think it was under $100.
Pitiful.


You had a monitor? Such luxury! I did all my early
programming on a DEC writer.

My first timesharing account was on a teletype.

Luckily, by the end of the semester the college had put in a room
full
of crt/keyboard dumb monitors.


I could only dream of such luxury! I had to use puchcards!

Do you know how hard it was playing "Star Trek" with punchcards?

I remember checkers on the teletype.


We used to dream of having a teletype!
