26. LOL! I took my first course in computer programming at Ohio State in 66-67

Programming language: Fortran
Punch cards, 80 column, punch yourself.
One compile per day. Turn in your card deck, come back tomorrow.
We never even got to see the computers themselves.

(On a humorous note I had the output from one of the compiles tacked up in the computer room, for the compile with the most errors of any compile om the history of the computer lab. The operator had loaded the deck of punch cards upside down.)
