    1972... One of the things we hackers did, when not doing Life or Star Trek was implement non-paper versions of CARDiac, the paper computer. The kind of task that made it easier to understand all that was interacting when a program ran (both writing it then running it).

    Good times. Amazing what you could do when the day was young and the limits weren't known.
