In our high school the "computer lab" consisted of two huge terminals that looked like typewriter/dot-matrix-printer combos that were connected to the mainframe over in the other high school in town. You could feed a tape through to program it, or you could write your own program. We thought we were so cool because we could get it to spit out x, x-squared, square root of x, and x-cubed. Ah, small victories. I miss them.
