Well if we are talking about old stuff, I wrote my first software in 1969 on
a Burroughs teletype terminal connected to an IBM 360 via an acoustic
coupled modem. I saved my program on paper tape. My first computer was a
Timex Sinclair 1000 with 2Kb of ram. (Yes, 2Kb not 2Mb.) And it was a good
trainer for programming. You have to write compact efficient code when you
only have 2Kb of memory for both the application and the screen memory.
