#2I thought it was actually paper coding, as many of us learned to do before coding right away into a keyboard.

#3I'd definitely love to see more screens like this sold (and getting better & more affordable with time)!
The mira pro color is marked as sold out and I can't even figure how to check non-color version on their site, so this doesn't look like something they sell a lot of though...

Thank you so much for misleading me to click your link.

Similarly, I'd write code in BASIC in notebooks before I had a computer. Later on I remember writing up assembly code in my high school library on loose leaf sheets when I had a neat idea and my friends were busy studying. Nothing like solving a problem the old fashioned way.

My first job out of college in the early 80's was working on diagnostics for an old NASA computer. "What language do I use?" I asked my boss. "We don't have a compiler". OK, I thought, assembly language. "No" said my boss "We don't have an assembler". "OK" I guess I'll write machine language. "What's the development environment?" "We don't have one. There's no editor. There's no network. There's no keyboard or monitor" I had to write my diagnostics in 96 bit hex using pencil and paper and then enter my program into the computer using toggle switches on the front panel. Kids today have no idea :-) And get off my lawn!

Maybe you haven't heard of it before? E-paper (including e-ink) displays are much less rare than actually coding on pen and paper.

And paper debugging!
Fond memories of printing programs on continuous printer paper (paper with holes on the side, that many dot-matrix printers used) so that I could take my time to read them to figure out where the bugs where.
