Official Match Thread Season 38, Round 7: West Coast Wonders v Ophidian Old Boys at The Colosseum

[Over The Post]

Some of us were first adopters of computers in early years high school maths lessons. in the late 70s, that were based on bits of rectangular cards you punched holes in to signify some form of binary code.

Yup. Punch cards, manually programmed with a paper clip. That's how I learned ALGOL in '79.

I had a manila folder in sixth form that I collected funny bits and pieces in, and its kinda followed me around since. Opened it up to have a look when I moved in May and a couple of chads fell out.

Edit: These posts aren't one-upmanship, it just highlights how those of us of a certain age have common ground because that's how it was back then.

Ohh goody. Sounds promising.

Sounds like a good way to go on a brief holiday from playing.

Captains being fickle and moving you from a prime spot? That doesn’t sound like the Wonders I know, right AnUltimateRessie? Sounds like the old regime to me

 

[thewizardmelon]

It was the '80s you whippersnapper. I got my first computer in 1981.

80-90’s - it’s all the same from my vantage point

Love a good captains call that goes awry, just quietly.
