I've spent a few years thinking about the old days of computing. Back then, I learned to program in BASIC on various PCs (Atari, Apple IIe, Tandy, etc.) up until high school, where I was able to join a class specifically aimed at introducing students to the internet of the 90s through a Unix account. I was very fortunate to be invited to it. Seats were limited. We learned about Unix, email, telnet, as well as programming in Fortran. The final project was a scientific presentation where we used Fortran to process a data set and present our conclusions. The program was called "Adventures in Supercomputing", and I remember it fondly.
