Re: computers
The TI-35 was from around the same period, late 1970s or early 1980s. There was also a desktop model that you could program using punch wafers, small plastic equivalents of the familiar punch cards (about the size of a folded Motorola Flip TracPhone but thin as a credit card). It was really expensive, over 2k at the time but great for repetitive calculations like signal degradation in CATV cable cascades and through amplifiers.

Re: computers
It's funny how things run. When I moved from designing CATV systems to working with computers accounting and inventory were the highest demand so COBOL was the language of choice and either TurboDOS or Uniix the OS of choice.
