That was breaking edge at the time. I didn't use a stand along PC until I was in my mid twenties. I just missed doing programming using cards, but I know that some of the back office stuff for some of our classes were done by that method. My kids look at me with open mouths when I tell them those stories. Wow Wordstar. That was breaking edge at the time. I didn’t use a stand along PC until I was in my mid twenties.

My husband wrote stuff on sheets too, when I first met him in 1960 he was learning programming for his experiments. Our first home computer was a North Star with no hard drive. No such thing as Windows. We had to load the program in disc after disc. I remember using Wordstar. Whatever happened to Wordstar? I remember punch cards too.
