Do you remember your first 'Hello World' program? Where were you? How did it feel?

Sure.  I was in high school, and I very carefully\nwrote out the Fortran source on official IBM coding\nforms and sent it to the state University, where it\nwas keypunched onto 80-column cards and fed through\nthe batch queue on their IBM mainframe.\n\nWith only about a 5 day turn-around (including\nmail both directions, keypunching, and queue time)\nI got the 132-column wide green fan-fold printout\nshowing my output.\n\nBeen hooked on computers ever since.

I actually threw a program similar to the challenge day program and I ended up learning about other cultures. I left the program feeling more informed and very aware of how important tolerance is. I was proud that I'd put together an event that allowed people to have an open forum and talk openly and honestly about so much. It changed me a lot. Oh and BTW this was before I ever knew that there was a program called challenge day we simply wanted an open forum but it was very similar to the challenge say program.

no, why? I just learned HTML right now tho, and the complicated type too, not the <b>hi</b> kind. I am happy. ecstatic. Remarkable, in fact!\n\nBut I am in 8th grade, fyi. I'm at home...

We used to like to hack into the Nord 500 mainframe computer and do crazy s*it. It was mostly our intention to drive the Sys Admins crazy, or have them running around like wild geese. The funniest was the day the system crashed legitimately and they confiscated our code for over 24 hours!

It is so funny you ask this.  I actually just got started in auto-surfing.  I havent gotten paid yet, but I have friends who have.  I can let you know if/when I do.

Interesting question. \n\nIt looks like the first (oldest) web site on the world wide web at http://info.cern.ch and was launched by Tim Berners-Lee in 1990.\n\nThe first chat room appears to have been Chat Chat, launched in 1990 by Chris "Cat" Thompson.

Are you including computer programming languages?  (Geek alert)

On your hard drive (drive c:) go to start then run then type in "c:" (without the brackets) and look for it. Id start in the folder called program files

Life Before the Computer\n\nAn application was for employment\nA program was a TV show\nA cursor used profanity\nA keyboard was a piano!\n\nMemory was something that you lost with age\nA CD was a bank account\nAnd if you had a 3 ½ inch floppyYou hoped nobody found out! \n\nCompress was something you did to garbage\nNot something you did to a file\nAnd if you unzipped anything in public\nYou'd be in jail for awhile!\n\nLog on - was adding wood to a fire\nHard drive was a long trip on the road\nA mouse pad was where a mouse lived\nAnd a backup happened to your commode!\n\nCut - you did with a pocket knife\nPaste you did with glue\nA web was a spider's home\nAnd a virus was the flu!\n\nI guess I'll stick to my pad and paper\nAnd the memory in my head\n\nHave you ever considered living in a world without modern technology?  We wouldn't have the personal computer you are sitting in front of now, much less cell phone networks, satellites, weaponry system, or any other device that relies on micro technology.  What would the world be like if all the technology we've developed, discovered, and invented over the last 100 years suddenly stopped working?  This week at school we had a very small taste of what it would be like.\n\nLast Friday, some bright computer technician at our Educational Support Center decided to mess with the domain-level server, and for some unknown reason, the server didn't a like him.  Whoever it was tinkering with the server caused a huge problem: they changed something that made the server "cry."  Unfortunately, computers are very fragile in this regard - they don't yet have the A.I. technology necessary to say "Hey Idiot, that probably isn't a good idea!"  Well, when the domain server went down, the problems just kept on rolling down the hill.  They multiplied - the result of one problem causing another because of network dependencies - and ended up shutting down the entire district's network access\n\nI hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash

Oh, man, that crap drives me up the wall.  I have no idea what the name of the language is, though, i just know that we call the people who use it all the time n00bs.  But that in and of itself is somewhat netspeak-y, so, eh.  What are you gonna do?

I've always had a reputation for being an IT go-to guy. It's not like I try or anything. Word gets around and I have total strangers asking me all kinds of weird questions. Since I got into web development 10 years ago I now have total strangers asking for web sites. Sheesh!
