"Quick - name the most important personal computer of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Those of you who mentioned the legendary Apple II - that's fine. I respect your decision. Forced to think objectively in 2012, I may even agree. But if you just named Radio Shack's TRS-80, you made me smile. Your choice is entirely defensible. And back in the TRS-80's heyday, I not only would have agreed with it but would have vehemently opposed any other candidate."

I don't know if at most typing-in some BASIC listings counts as coding...
And zero documentation was even possibly more often the rule. Or, at best, only a manual written in a totally unknown language - not a good start to "work out" things, that you cherish in the days gone by.
