[edit] Background

  • This user is older than dirt
  • This user, like Dilbert/Scott Adams, can remember programming with ones and zeros "and sometimes they didn't have ones!"
  • This editor can remember the Great Depression and World War II, and it was uphill in both directions and snow up to our necks! Our clothing was too light and we had to run to keep from freezing to death. Except in the summer when our clothing was too heavy and we had to walk slow to keep from getting sunstroke. There was no television. We could only get static on the radio and we were glad to get that! Not like you namby-pambies nowdays!
