Your Most Memorable Moment in Computing

[Iggy]

Hmm, most memorable huh?

1)Using Wang 2200 systems in High School.

2)Reading most of the original issues of Creative Computing.

3)Helping build a SWTPC SS50 system.

4)Working with Delmar Company to further our development of our PT68K OS-9 based systems in the '80s and '90s.

5)Encouraging Delmar's owner to adopt the G-Windows GUI.

6)Getting early release copies of Window 3.0 from visiting IBM engineers (and seeing the probable doom of our own enterprises in the making).

7)Finding another micro kernel OS using the obvious successor to the 68K processor (MorphOS).

...playing wumpus and startrek on a CDC/11784 mainframe

...Enjoying that wumpus game so much that I played it exhaustively on a TTY and brought the print out home to write the code from scratch in Apple BASIC so I could play it at home

I can identify with that.
I used to convert BASIC programs published in Creative Computing to run under Wang 2200 BASIC.
Star Trek and Lunar Lander were two of my favorites.

I even remember learning to command syntax of the Radio Shack Model 1's BASIC so I could enter small programs on store demo machines before I bought my first computer..
