Back when I went to Ryerson, we only had an IBM mainframe available.  We
had to use whatever was provided, as we couldn't download anything to
it.  HTML?  There were no browsers back then.  The only remote
connections we had were inbound.  I could call in using my home computer
and terminal emulator app to do my homework.  We even had to carve our
own computer chips from wood...     ;-)

There was still some punch card equipment there, but I never had to use
it.  I also had a SuperCalc class on a Zenith Z89 CP/M computer.
