Remember making cards for family on the computers at school. It was on a regular piece of paper then you would fold the paper in 1/4. Man I thought that was awesome back then.

mmm...dot matrix goodness!

Hey, I had a class on BASIC in the 6th grade, and I'm only 25. I also remember them printing off those big banners on the dot matrix computers back then...took all day to print one.

My, how times have changed.

I guess the term "Bug" came from Grace Hopper messing with a printer and getting nuts when they know a little bug interfering with the communication between a machine and the printer....

I started some years ago with basic. I guess it is the best programming languague for beginners-even for those dont like computers. Pretty simple...

Im still reading all the catalog, very interesting things. A printer weighting 79 lbs would kill a man. For an entire system, i guess you have a Superduty to carry all that heavy machinery....

For 17,999 bucks, you can buy now a G5 with 8 gigs of Ram, with the best of the best of the best technology....

THE "BUG"
some airforce woman named grace hopper or Harper,, was the first to dub the "bug" in association with her nick name "grass hopper".,,
Anyway, she found and fixed the first actual software bug perse'
been a while but that was one of the many things i remember from highschool computer class.

"LOGO"
The first internet message ,,,,,Which failed ,,so they say.
There were two computers networked together with what was considered a great distance between both terminals. There was a "server" perse and the other guy was on the other end. What ever he typed was instantly visible on the other end.
So,, dude man was getting ready to perform the very first "internet" or Web traffic ever done and typed "LOGON". A basic command prompt terminology which shold not have wrecked the system but did.

The only letters that reached the other end was "LOGO" and the system crashed.

and then gave birth to "LOGO"
