Purely as a matter of interest, my first hands-on code-cutting experience with a microprocessor, an 8008, was at a Swansea University seminar in November 1974...Where does the off half-century go?
Yup, on my first real job, I did the controller for an air pollution instrument on an 8008 in 1975 bleeding into 1976. It was a fairly tough slog, I had to write my own integer multiply and divide routines, 7-segment LED driver code, etc.
