I also had much fun with the TR-440, from 1971 to 1978 at Stuttgart. The
first few years we were connected to a machine at Karlsruhe, until we
got our own TR-440. My first programming exercise, a board game,
resulted in a printout of 30 pages (the limit) of "Gewonnen!", because I
missed to read in the next data record, and I considered to use it as a
wall paper in my next apartment :-)

I'm also a proud owner of an original TR-440 instruction set manual :-)
BTW do you know HP Kehm, HofnArr or Flip-Flop?
