Thanks to skie for reminding me how old I am (BBS).
Of course I also used punched paper tape and punch cards, acoustic modems with phone cradles, and teletype terminals.
Despite anything you might have heard, I did not ever do wire board programming, however.
Almost older than the sand used to make the chip in your workstation.
