P.S. I actually had access to a working PDP11 that you programmed by flipping physical switches for each bit in memory, but I can't honestly say I used it for anything.

GlockenHammer. I started my forum life shortly after purchasing my first gun, a Glock 19. I liked the ring of "glockenspiel" (no pun intended) and converted it using a gun term like "hammer".

OK, so I've worked on a computer that used a dot-matrix line printer with keyboard attached to a 300 baud modem you actually put the phone receiver into and called the "main computer" that was "downtown". Punch cards, monochrome monitors, 8" floppies all came after that for me.

Rookies.
