They had high level programming languages even before 1970, so the answer should be yes.Originally Posted by Akkernight

wait... They had computers in 1970 o.o? I thought they only had the massive one that you walked inside, and it was only capable of printing paper or something D:

Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!
Please don't PM me for help - and no, I don't do help over instant messengers.
A quick search of the Web brings up this simplified timeline. I have seen others, though one computing history book that I really liked had a fantastic collection of photographs of those "ancient" machines.Originally Posted by Akkernight
Eh, wouldn't that make it a printer instead of a computer?Originally Posted by Akkernight

I dunno, I just saw an image of a BIG thing, where people worked inside, and kinda many, and in the middle of this massive machine, there came paper out xP but I think that was in the 50's and the first computer ever, if I remember correctly... Was in some school book xP
Holy ........! 1936 o.o! There weren't even colors back then D:

I've got shoes older than you.
Mainframe assembler programmer by trade. C coder when I can.
Hey, nice to be able to show up!

I'm the new generation of idiocrazy(If that even is a word) >: D
Meh, old stuff is old, and useless, it's the new stuff that is important, forget the past, don't think about the future and live in the now ^^

It's what I live by xP People worry too much, me thinks :P

I have a PC that has loads of blue light, and even lights text that says IPOWER (You people should know the case now xP) Well, it's one of those Packard Bell iPower cases, and is that processor not HUGE? xP

Here are a few of my older pieces, not the oldest of course, but fairly old. The chip is an 8250 PIC, the processor and motherboard still work, and I still use ralph browns book as a reference every now and then (It's a bit behind the times, but there are some calls that never change). The book on the 8088 actually did come in useful not too long ago when I was workign on a microcontroller project that used the 80188.
