The first computer I ever met was an IBM 1620 -- input was by punched card,
of course, and as I remember it the part of the machine which got the
heaviest use was the VALIDITY CHECK warning light.
   I learned to write programs in a language called FORGO , which doesn't
seem to exist now; in retrospect I figure it must have been a subset of
FORTRAN II, perhaps locally (Queen's U, Kingston) created.
