Yes.
Count me in! My first programming was on an IBM 360 in an "Introduction
to Computing" class, back in 1976. I was also taking a 'Musical
Computer' class which ran FOCAL on a DEC PDP 11/15.
and mine was an IBM 360/67 (now there was a machine) running the Michigan
Terminal System (MTS). That was in 1973.
Mine was IBM 1140 (?). 4K of CORE (little doughnuts), no assembler,
no compiler, we used machine language. (Just hold down "multipunch"
on the card punch and type characters until enough bits get punched
out.) In, umm, 1967 or 1968 or so.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
