What was your first Computer?
In college back in the 70’s, I worked with punch cards on some timeshare system that the school had, but I have no idea what it was.
My first real computer was an IBM System 34, in the pre-PC days. We coded in RPG II and even had Star Trek as a game on it. It used 8-inch floppies, had 4K of memory, and maybe a 4 MB hard disk (the memories are hazy from those days).
I wrote about it extensively here along with my Mad Men shennanigans about sex and drinking at work before the cancel culture, MeToo and the other bullshit that took the fun out of work.
Delusions of Adequacy 
Had a Radio Shack TRS-80 for which you saved programs on a cassette. There were rumors that people were going to have computers talking to each other over phone lines.
Believe it or not there was a cell phone network of sorts in St. Louis in the early 80’s. I was going to college there and we would drive around town and find spots where a friend had a radio we could tap into it with.

First computer used – a Burroughs 205 (6N6 vacuum tube technology, I think). 2048 bytes of drum memory. Programmed in absolute machine code via paper tape. Program patches were done by taping “holes” back onto the tape and punching new holes. Computing first 1000 prime numbers using Sieve of Eratosthenes took 3 1/2 hours. Big fun!
