I started programming in college (the Digicomp-I doesn't count), after being told in high school that computer programming was a vocational course and I should take something more useful, like physiology. (I'd have been better off learning FORTRAN than dissecting cats, but who knew in 1975?)

After a short side trip into chemistry and finding out that I could both get paid better and poison myself less in computer science, I switched to programming for good. WVU had an IBM 360/75 running OS/360, Wylbur (an online text-editing program that could submit jobs), and what was for me the crown jewel, CPS: the Conversational Programming System. This was a variant of PL/1 that you could program and run from a command line interface. When I created a PS version of Wumpus and came in to find every terminal tied up with people playing it, I knew I'd found what I wanted to do.
