What computers
In college in the late seventies, where I did my degree, there were only punch card computers, and I personally never took a computer course. There were texts in the book store and a little later PCs and a bit after that Turbo Pascal. Bits of BASIC, Avenue (used in GIS but discarded by ArchGIS for Visual Basic). Bits of FORTRAN, PROLOG, ... Finally I got my hammer and hiking boots back, but, you can never really leave.
