This month ... it's all about the top 30 favorite assignments (see rules below) -- and that means I'm going into the archives and going way way way back to duotang folders in a bin in storage, most of which that have not even been OPENED for the last three decades.
To kick things off, let's take a look in the COMPUTER folder, where one finds my notes from the late 80's when I learned that a "computer" was "an information processing machine" and that "programmers" are "people who write programs" and that a "floppy diskette" was (and I use the past tense here super-intentionally) an "oxide-coated floppy disk used for storing data". All seems pretty BASIC in retrospect, but keep in mind that we were some of the first students learning "Beginners' All-Purpose Symbolic Instructional Code" in high school.
RULES FOR THIS TOP 30 LIST: These are MY favorite assignments. They may also be YOUR favorite assignments -- but they may not be, especially since it's quite conceivable that you have NO favorite assignments. My grades, though, were pretty good ... so, you know ... hence this particular countdown. No negativity or other comments about hoarding will be permitted (after all -- hoarders wouldn't know where [most] of their things are and they wouldn't be so [mostly] organized ... so SHUT YOUR MOUTH about that). The poster is not responsible for any reappearance of any repressed memories you might have about anything that is included in this series. Note: due to the fewer number of days in February, two posts of this kind will show up on Sundays.
