My first exposure was Commodore PET computers at the high school (I'm old). Nobody had home computers then, this stuff was crazy expensive, even a floppy disk (singular!) to save your work on the shared drive (on a dolly - it could be hotplugged) was >$20 in today's money. But what you could use all you want was the line printer (a CBM 2022) and its consumables. So at the end of whatever computer room time you could scrounge (lunch, who needs lunch?) you'd print off your 3-4 page epic program to continue coding and debugging with a pencil, on the long school bus ride. This does form "slow" habits. To this day I detest autocomplete, autoindent, syntax highlighters and the like. Never did hand assemble though.
