in  the back of the   room  had a 5 meg  hp-7900 cart.  drive and was  our  
 test system,
 
fixed and sold  lots of   boards for the old  2100  processors!

I learned BASIC on  an ASR33 attached to my school's HP2000/F  timeshare 
system.  I'm sure the thing ended up in a  dump.  :-(

wouldn't be able  to afford the electric bill, tho.
