     I learned assembly language on an Odyssey ][. If anyone needs some Odyssey ][ coding, I'm here, baby.

     @jb I would have graduated high school in '83 so that was the state of the art. Along with cassette tape storage.

     The first computer I ever touched, back in around 1979, used paper punch cards. I've also spent time on a PET.
