Matter of fact, the first machine that I had full system responsibility for
DID boot from paper tape, but that was when BillG was still in grade
school. It was a very small mainframe, and was not supposed to be a
computer at all, but rather the equivalent of a serial-port card for a
GE-200 system. Nevertheless, it did have full computing capability and I
was running a 4-user time-shared multiprocessing system, supporting
110-baud Teletypes and IBM 2741 typewriters as terminals. And I did backup
my files on paper tape, also, via a KSM-35 Teletype machine... This was all
some 40 years ago, almost a decade before PCs really took off...
