What Did Coding Look Like in 1985?

Ahh the bittersweet feeling of programming from years ago:

Interesting glimpse into how programming things was back in 1985. Anybody that has ever written a little in assembler can probably bond with this.

Also, I like the screenshots of the paper notes. Syntax highlighting++. I'm a big fan of writing before coding. I think it helps a lot and back then you pretty much had to do it to ensure that you could keep track of everything that was going on.
