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!!
