Oh, not old at all. Just well-seasoned.

I also ran several Data Generals: MV 4000’s, 10000’s and 15000’s! Loved ‘em, too.

I loved all my old ‘frames:

Not in any order (Except Philco was my first):

Philco Ford 1000, 2000
Honeywell 66/60, 6800
CDC Cyber 174
IBM 360, 370, 4341
PDP 11/70
VAX 860, 870, 8650
DG MV 4000, 10000, 15000

I ran all of these for the United States Air Force, the Defense Intelligence Agency and the Defense Communications Agency between 1976 and 1991.

[Alas Babylon!]

Dang! Maybe I am old!

I forgot my Univacs!

Univac 1106 and 1100/41.

[Alas Babylon!]

That’s good to know, and thanks for setting me straight!

When I left the States to go overseas in 1991, there were a large amount of very competitive PC makers—when I returned Stateside in 1997, there were only a few left standing.

I did switch over to PCs and servers then, and even got my MCSE in 1998.

I have my eye on Carly Fiorina as potential VP candidate. She is smart, quick, pro American, my first onsideration of any candidate, richer than most Americans from ordinary working backgrounds, and very important IMO, she is WOMAN. A big plus in the politics of today. Sure beats several of the newly announced candidates lately. Full speed Carly and good luck, you add good dimension to the GOP Presidential field.

To put a finer point on it, Dr Carson does not wish to succumb to the flaws of a politician. He does not choose to lie.
