Been having lots of fun with computers since beginning '70s. No, English is not my first language (yes, you guessed it right because it is a programming language). Knew (or used to know) some cryptic for-, five- and even six-letter-words for as many OSes, programming environments (well, in those days this was more like a joke) and computer architectures. Claim to have programmed with punched cards (Who said Turok? Huh? Was that you?), punched paper tape, 8-inch open-reel mag tapes and 2.5MB removable Winchester disk drives... Still learning, though, and hope to keep it like this for as long as I can.
