I learned programming on Wang systems. The first was a small multi-user system that had toaster type card readers and crude data entry and readout panels. They I went to a Wang 720B which I learned inside and out. I was making the display do things it was never intended to do, even ran a computer dating program on it for the school. It could handle 100 couples total. It was actually popular for that!

100 couples, comprised of a mere 2 identities.

I know, what was I thinking???
Should have been groupings of indeterminate size comprised of any and all genders represented in the poll.
