Why is your seniority relevant?
Just trying to convey that I've enough real-world experience to have a
valid point of reference without heavy handily touting that my intro to
computers was when the common input device was an 026 and core memory
involved literal iron. I've been chided before ;)
Pardon me for asking, but what's an "026?"
I go pretty far back myself, to the days of front panel toggle switches,
paper tape, and ASR33 teletypes (and Frieden Flexowriter's for that
matter) - but "026" is a new one on me.
