A Challenge to the list members.
On June 14, 1957 I entered into my life long love affair with the
computer.
Back then it wasn't called IT. It was simply DP. COBOL and Basic
didn't
exist. Fortran was only a baby.
My first computer was peg boards, sorting machines and card
readers, and
chain printers.
If you calculate the years and days properly you will see it comes
to fifty
years.
My challenge is a simple one.
Is there anyone on the list with more time in the profession than
me. Or am I the "Last Man Standing"?
I can remember assembling a "science project" christmas present about
1960 involving a pegboard, wires, and light bulbs that the
instructions called an "electronic brain"!
But just what the heck are "chain printers"? (I envision a steam-
operated inkjet complete with pistons)
