On-Line System?  Wow.  I would have given a lot for that capability in
1965.  Punch cards were the only thing available.  No disk--no tty.  Did
you ever have to punch cards in binary?  You younger guys had it easy.

Oh, and FORTRAN was the only high level language.  Nore: That's *not*
FORTRAN II or FORTRAN IV.
