I had a model 35ASR here.  It was uppercase only and the typebox was the 
same as the 28 except it had another row.

I was about 25 years old in 1975 when I got it.  My brother came over 
and saw it and said "Lets hook it to the phoneline and dial in the the 
college".  So we did, from there I learned TSO and VSBASIC for the IBM 
370.  Used the BASIC programs in 73 Mag to learn how to code.

I went back to college and got my degree in Information Systems and have 
been working for McDonnell Douglas/Boeing for 25 years in IS.

All because of a model 35ASR!!
