It really makes me feel old when the "Past" of comp sci refers to 20 years ago.

Does no one else remember going to the comp sci "building" to use the punch card machines at 3 a.m. because the lines were shorter then? Or the nefarious things that could be done with the boxes of punched-out chads?

For me the past was 30+ years ago, but punch cards were already long gone. Undergrads would go to LOTS at 3:00am, but happily I could do most of my work on my research group's computers. I think I took one or two classes where everyone was required to use LOTS out of some sense of fairness. Not to say I wasn't in my office at 3:00am sometimes.

The name Stuart Regis rings a bell but I had no idea he was such a colorful character. Never took a class from him.
