Back in my day, we coded in 0’s and 1’s, and sometimes we didn’t even have the 1’s.....and that’s the way it was and we liked it.

OK grandpa Simpson. I was so good I coded in PEN. :-)

You had 0's??? That must have been nice. We had to make do with letter o's.

You had binary code?

Luxury.

We lived on a planet with a hazy sky, with no sunrise or sunset, no day or night, and we had to hum continuously to prevent any break between sound and no sound.

Try programming in THAT environment.

I couldn't think of a response to this. It's too hardcore.

Also, my remarks about msft...it's funny, I wonder what I'd be doing if it weren't for Bill Gates. I'd probably have gone into the family business...

We had to walk three miles in the snow to get our ones, then it was a bitch to get them home because they kept falling through the holes in our pockets.

Did you have to walk uphill in the snow both ways to get them 1s? Back when I was learning FORTRAN we were glad to have 0s, 1s were gravy ;)

I remember when 8" floppy drives were the shiznipples and 1200 baud was a screaming connection.
