I got you beat there. I started drawing my early social security
earlier this year. I am 62 and started programming on an IBM 1130 in
'67 or so. All of the programing was on cards. Lots of fun carrying a
box of them around. That machine had a removable disk drive of some
type that contained megabytes of space. It was amazing what you could
do with a machine like that. We didn't get to run our own programs, you
had to submit them and then figure out what you did wrong from the
output listings.

Hi
I'm 54. Provable the eldest one in this mailing list.
Why do you care about age?
I think my 61 beats that. I wrote my first code 42 years ago
(Elliott 803, paper tape input, 1kHz cycle time (yes, kHz)). I expect
there are older still. I care about age because at some point my
validations on age will fail.

Just curious how old we all are? Not that it really matters but I was
just wondering.
To get the ball rolling, I'm 21.
