Sorry, no, *real* geeks use paper tape and a Honeywell TTY with tape reader/writer.

David Fitzjarrell

Hey that was what I used on my first computer. PDP-8i with 32K Core RAM time share with 5 users. 2-> 300 baud acoustic coupled modems to another school. Honewell Teletype with yellow paper. edlin for editing and Focal for my first language. Paper tape all the way, baby!

You could actually watch the register lights change on the front console. To boot the machine you applied power. Then you entered 12 pairs of binary numbers on the toggles on the front panel. This was the program to run the High speed paper tape to load the operating system. Things got really cool when we got a couple fo monochrome CRT's! Then we added a DEC tape unit. Whoaw watch out!
