As usual, these discussions go off topic, but I appreciate all the answers so far. But as long as we're going back into history, I remember cutting my teeth on IBM 604 machines, programming by wiring boards. then on to the more "sophisticated machines like the 7070 and the famous 1401. BTW, I still have a Commodore 64 at home in storage. I guess I should add that I've been in the computer field for nearly 50 years, so I'll just let you guys guess my age! LOL

My 1st look at a computer was looking in on the Interdata main frame at my dad's office. He was in sales at Interdata, and after they were bought out by Perkin Elmer, he sold the computer that's in the Hubble Space Telescope.
