Learned to program in Dartmouth Basic on a teletype in 1974 in school. Teletype = clanky uppercase only terminal that printed on paper at 110 baud and saved to paper tape. The world sure has changed since then.
Pretty much my story as well. A teacher at my High School in 1972 had an account on a local time sharing service. He sponsored a computer club, probably unusual for the time in a High School. We dialed up the service with an acoustic modem connected to an ASR 33 teletype. I still have some sheets of the old yellow roll paper with my first BASIC programs on them.
