Unless you have struggled with limited memory and machine code with a PDP8 you have not lived!

I think I've lived since I did use a PDP8e at some stage - I just cannot remember when - but I didn't have to program it. But earlier (1973) I used a Data General Nova - it may have been a SuperNova - 4k of memory - and in this case I did have to write machine code. I had the dubious honor of accidentally ripping the last copy of the BASIC interpreter (paper tape!) - Woops!
