good god man. i've worked with old code and old machines... but never anything that was older than i was (well... code wise). i think i may've had my hands on some vax's or as400's that could've been close to my age.

...wow. My current job freaked me out the first time I had to touch code older than I was, but that code is ten years older than me. I don't think I've ever seen anything like that live.

I knew old gummint systems were the reason anyone ever used Fortran still, but... wow.
