Here I expect to present some info about my early experience with computers, UNIVAC 1107, PDP8, ABC80 and others.
Short summary: 1965/66 I wrote my first computer programs for UNIVAC 1107, in the high level programming language ALGOL. 1967/68 I learnt programming in machine code and assembly on a PDP8 minicomputer. 1979 A colleague, Gunnar Slungaard, and I used computer corrected multiple choice exams at Oslo Engineering College, with the students preparing direct input to the mainframe computer by filling in pencil-marked computer cards. 1979 I acquired my first personal computer, a Z80-based Swedish
