“Sonny, my debut into the computer world occurred in 1967. I’m still current”

Mine came in 1965, sonny.

I guess I have missed the point somewhere, or you have read every book there is online, even when not online. You are a tough nut to crack, and just as stubborn as I.

Well then, as one ancient fart to another, which was your favorite computer? I cut my teeth on the IBM 1130, then the 360. Soon I developed a love for the PDP-11 and then the 68000. I am still kicking myself in the butt for throwing out my Multibus 68000 computer.

I just acquired some gunsmith books and some machining texts that are not available online. They are wonderful, far better than any similar material I have found online. Online material seems to be lacking in detail and not very eloquently written. The older farts wrote better than people of today.
