While we are discussing early experiences with computers, has anyone else memories of using a GEIS computer online about 1967? My recollection is of using a teleprinter in a small room in the UK and linking to a computer somewhere in the USA, presumably within General Electric. One could write simple programs in an early BASIC and it was a great improvement on a slide rule or the available desk calculators, and did not require those of us doing R&D to access the main IT department of the organisation for time on their mainframe.
