I cut my teeth on the RCA Spectra series

I started big, on the 7094 under the PORTHOS operating system written at UIUC, writing assembler (SCATRE) and a smidgen of FORTRAN, but moved soon after to the B5500 in ALGOL and ESPOL and simulators for Tranquil.

Now that was computing!

I didn't think much of the 7094, but the B5500 was sweet.
