Yes, when my husband went back to school, to finish his BS, we got this "new fangled" technology, so he could do his homework at home, in that weird, new major, Computer Information Systems. I have a picture of my 6 month old son sitting at the terminal, banging his hands on the keyboard. We had to get the computer paper from some special place that would deliver it, so my DH could see his work. There was no monitor. 1983.
