I started out as an Assembler programmer. I’m a fossil.

Pull up a lily pad, Dino. Let's pop a few brews and talk about the good ole' days.

Sounds like a plan. I can remember avoiding the use of index registers because not all S/360s had them - was a priced feature, as was the decimal instruction set.

And I remember looking up instruction timings for real-time code to optimize it.

Overlay programming, anyone?

I earned every one of these gray hairs!
