Wow.  Turn on the wayback machine.  TUCC is what I had to use at NC State
the year before they got PCs.  It was really cool.  You wait in line to
punch the cards, wait in another line to read 'em in, wait in another line
to see what happened and walk across campus from the basement of Daniels
Hall to the Hillsborough St. Computer Center to pick up the printout from
Tony.

It was a major deal getting that DEC Rainbow and Hayes Smartmodem 1200 to
save a trip to campus.

My, how things have changed.

Regards,
 
Jim
