My first exposure to computers was in HS. I was one of 3 at our HS that had access and 4K of space on the school system main frame. It was an IBM selectric typewriter/terminal with an acoustical phone hookup. You dialed the phone then set hand set on the modem. You and the computer both typed on paper, no monitor. Wrote programs in basic. Wrote a program to play pinball as a text game. And yes, we could get to grades and attendance. Administrators/teacher etc wrote down their passwords and left them laying around. Okay, they were in their grade books. One of the administrators did leave his login and password on a stack of papers he was working on the the closet they kept the terminal in. There was only one terminal.
