Haha yeah I did some tapes. There was some crazy thing that hooked up to my TV at home that used cassette tapes.
And yeah, BBS culture, and programming on some of the old school machines, PEEK and POKE and pre-OSX Macs, and segmented memory in the 8088-286 era. To this day I have never really understood what the point of segmented memory was, but that was what we had back in the day, and we were grateful.
I also got to do some programming at a place that had one of the massive Onyx2 machines. It lived in a whole separate room and was the size of a refrigerator. Good stuff.

Ah, the precious main memory… Let’s see if we can’t get this mouse driver to load in upper memory to save me some precious main memory…
