Yep, Logo for sure. Amazing program actually, ran off a floppy. Used it extensively in school. I remember a couple of classmates creating some pretty amazing images with such a simple program. Early indicators of their talent, one of them has founded his own financial security product company and another works for Google.

Re: Nostalgia: Computing in the 20th century

My first brush with a computer was 1986. I can't remember the spec (was in primary school then), just remember that the manufacturer was 'Telly'. Had no internal memory, used to run Logo on an external 5.25 floppy. Then GW-Basic sometime in 6th grade (1990). First modern day computer I saw was the HCL Beanstalk in '96. Used to run DOS and Windows (3.1) as an application.

Got introduced to Linux with Redhat 5.2. Used to be an all-nighter installation back then just to partition and load the OS X-Windows took another night. Nowadays its hardly a big deal.

Seeing punched cards for the first time in this thread. Wow!
