I am not computer expert but have had to use them from late 60's for fourier transform NMR. I was a research chemist (retired now for 27 years). We were encouraged to learn Fortran. which i never did. Few years later at the Unjv where I was a professor took week course in machine language.
I learned Fortran IV one summer during medical school (1967).
Did some trivially simple programming using a paper-tape feed for a Varian computer when spending a summer at NASA (1969).
Got a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model III (1979).
Yes that is what my colleague bought. Radio shack was very early in getting desk top computers to the public. They somehow missed out over the years. There was a store near us now where I got small items, connectors etc. sorry to see these stores disappear.
