That hardware really did last too, even if some of the bigger mainframes took up entire rooms.

I’ve seen a few samples of 60s era graphics but not the actual code. My dad learned programming just a little later than you I think. I’m still just starting out in programming despite some minor Windows/Linux admin know-how. All of that documentation and unique code is pretty special though, some of that is lost to history otherwise.
