I didn't say that HD's were my first storage medium. I remember typing
in 200+ line Star Trek program three times trying to get my GE tape
recorder to work when Apple ][ came out with their first computer --
which had a wopping 16k of Integer on the motherboard, but no floppies.
Before that, I used magnetic strips, before that a roll of paper punch
tape, before that punch cards, and before that we recorded binary on
rocks by turning them over in the sun. On cloudy days, our systems would
crash.
