I started back in the old 7040 with 1401 input unit days. You had to wire it from the back.

I remember my first IBM PC. 8 K of memory, 2 160K floppies, and a monochrome monitor. Upped the memory to 16k and added a Santa Clara Operations 2.5mb hard disk, $6,300. Hand built a multiplexor card so I could tie into all of our POS terminals in Crown Center to keep sales and inventory info. Ah, the days. Beat the hell out of those 13 column spreadsheets.
