David Scott: "How do you talk to a computer? When I went to school we had a language called MAC, which, I guess, was the predecessor to FORTRAN and many people did machine language. How do you take a pilot, put him [in] a space ship, and have him talk to a computer? That is not easy in real time. Somebody came up with the verb-noun concept, but I'm surprised that it is not utilized in other computers today. It was very simple for us to operate with a series of two-digit numbers representing verbs and another series of two-digit numbers representing nouns. It was so simple and straightforward even pilots could learn how to use it. We had some interesting words. Our initialization program was 00. We abbreviated the identification of the identification [initialization?] program with a P. If you ever had a problem you went back to 00, which we ultimately called P00."
