The machine was so overloaded with students that it could take half a minute to respond to a keypress on the editor, when everybody was compiling their exercises. So I finally decided that I would buy a PC, an Amstrad 1512 DD, to practice pascal. I found a friendly teacher that copied my source code from my floppy to the vax using, I think, kermit. Then I had to change Turbo Pascal constructs to Pascal constructs.
Our problem was finding an available terminal that wasn't broken. So, again I'd go home and dial into the school's computer. I used Procomm+ on an XT clone.
