I've still got a rair black box, cpm puter from about 1980, i've not turned it on since about 1981 - its got a 5mb hddOriginally Posted by Win2Win
I used to use Prolog in the 80's, and machine code on CPM systemsThat's going back a bit!
The boards on this model would sometimes come free from the mother board during transit. The engineer would arrive from Rair, wait for the client to leave the room, and then simply drop the computer from about two inches off the desk to re-install the system.

yes 8085 processor.
i knew and still know the 6502 and z80 instruction set more intimately than the misses and thats more than 25yrs agoI've never really coded in assembler although oddly enough I dug out one of my books on assembly language last night
As you say just you and the processor but you have to know the processor intimately
As for SQL, I bet you worked with normalised data all the time matebut I know what you mean.
sql theory is the only thing i took twice and gave up twice on, some times you need to know when to quit
