When taking computer programming classes in the early 80's
I believe it was an IBM 4345 mainframe (?) that they had.
The computer lab was open 24/7 and I would go there after
midnight on Fri and Sat and was often all alone there.
Not crowded like earlier times of day.

Then I bought a Vic-modem for the Commodore and was able
to do my work at home using one of their 24 dialup lines.
Made life easy. I could do my programming homework
online and save it. Then right before I drove out there
for class, I'd send it to the printer there and the
printout was waiting for me in the computer lab.
