What was your first encounter with a computer?

[A-Polly]

Early 70s, at university. Took a FORTRAN class, which allowed access to the mainframe (actually, only to a room full of terminals). And there was even a "computer game" we could make it play, which involved guessing a number between 1 and 100. Wow, hadn't thought of that in years.

The more advanced students were of course printing pictures of Snoopy on the line printer. I'm sure there was other artwork, but Snoopy is the only one I recall. :oldfogette:

Encountered Pong many years later, on a Radio Shack computer owned by my future father-in-law.
