38 years ago I worked on these
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_record_equipment .
My 1st computer was an IBM 360/20, can't remember if it had any disk.
My 1st language was Basic Assembler Language (BAL) and then Fortran.
First RPG didn't have any Roman numerals or arrays or direct file
processing.

1st mainframe was from Burrows and used that oily yellow punched paper tape.

And I know I'm not the oldest on this list.
