Larry McVoy:
In response to old hardware... My first machine was an Okidata CPM machine
which had a color (!) monitor and a built in printer. If someone had one
of these, I'd like it just for old time's sake...
Well, my first computer was a Cardiac. I'm glad to say that I managed
to grab one from Classic Computing a few years ago, but I don't think
they have any left. If anyone knows of a source, I'd be interested to
hear about it; every now and then I mention Cardiac to someone who hasn't
heard of it, and they'd like to know where to get one.
I still think Cardiac should be a required tool in freshman programming
courses.
