No kidding. My “first” computer was half a building.
If you haven’t dropped a tray of cards, you haven’t lived.
Internet....ha ha ha ha
My first computer was a complete building - a BIG building! The
IBM Q7 Computer used for the Norad SAGE Air Defense System. I was a maintenance man for this beast for 7 years. You actually had to know how a computer worked - down to the and-gate level - in order to troubleshoot and repair this monstrocity. Today, when there is a display problem, a kid can just change the entire display system with the swap of a card. Back then, you had to troubleshoot it down to which flip-flop or which leg of a specific and/OR gate was failing. Those were the days my friend!
