Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: OT -- suggestions to ensure nerdiness in potential IT staff
yeah, my father still try's to impress me with stories of punch cards and
such. It's pretty funny. The oldest computer I know of and still have is a
compaq "portable" computer. It has the old 5 1/4" "floppy" drives and a
little tiny screen. It's basically a suitcase, weighs about 40 pounds, the
bottom is the keyboard. Kinda cool, I remember playing games on it as a kid
and thinking it was the most amazing thing. Now it makes a good foot rest,
but that's about it:)

And just think about the PC being an advanced system for some of us.
Wait until we again start talking about using paper tapes and having to use scotch tape to put them back together to run them through. Or even the older guys that talk about switch boards. I am not as old as them. My computer days just go back to the mid 70's.
