  • In 8th (?) grade our larval computing lab was a row of Commodore 64 but there was only one 5.25" floppy drive between them. When you wanted to save or load your proglet you had to

    • walk over to insert your floppy
    • return to your seat to do your load/save
    • walk back over to retrieve your floppy to free up the drive for someone else

    At some point I realized that while the owner was walking back and forth you could load their code to see how they approached the assignment. And doing so did not affect their workflow or anyone else at all. It felt like the earth shifted a bit at that moment.
