Enjoy that Cab! Won't get into dates on any of this; I was working in Silicon Valley at the time ibm announced, would put it in the early 80s. Had a part time teaching electronics in college, and tried my best to get those people (both public and private) to use more competent processors to teach the various forms of addressing etc, to no avail, since everyone thought ibm was the greatest.
Over the last couple years, I've broken my vow to not drink much (made after doing bad stuff after Nam to some people in a bar) and have my rotgut whiskey in the eves. However... After decades in the profession, I did have the sense to get the hell out of 'civilized' places, and have as complete ownership of my stuff as possible in these times. Fighting one or two of the local shithead dems is taking up too much time though.
