FFS, I'm not that old. I'm 61.

I started out at school in 1977 on a PDP-11 with 16K of RAM, 3 ASR-33s connected by 20ma current loop. We also had a VT-52. All running at 110baud. No valves, all transistors and ICs. That system was already outdated.

Punched/mark sense cards were still around.

Two years later we had a PET, Apple-II, and a TRS-80.

Teletypes have been around since the 1940s.

Cut the false history crap when it's easily found online and elsewhere.



Well, it's never too late to learn reading skills or civil behaviour, junior.
