Tons of kids, similar to every year prior. Everyone was polite, especially the older kids. We had to reduce to one piece of candy per kid towards the end as we were running out. Then we had to reverse to “take a handful” just before lights out.

This. I am totally anal about any specs or spots on my screens. Smudgy fingerprints are an abomination.

My first couple of programming classes were in Pascal. Then there was the third class where the professors had written their own pseudo language that existed only on the chalkboard and in their own heads. At least I learned recursion from them. I had to teach myself every language I ever used on the job. I was EE instead of CS, so I suppose I shouldn’t complain too hard, perhaps there were more practical classes deeper into the CS tree.
