But nothin' beats programming a PDP 11 using the front panel switches!!

ROSCO

Now that shows your age! I remember it only too well myself.

We also used to have this game that you played using the front panel
switches on the PDP11. All I can remember though (another sign of advanced
age) is it involved flying in space and that winning involved landing on the
moon near a McDonalds, and your victory was announced with the words "two
big macs and a cheeseburger to go".
