How old are?

[rexxman]

First job was with a new 360/30. Four tape drives (wow!). Played Tic-Tac-Toe on it by twisting the URL dials and hitting Run/Stop. Absolutely amazing. Boy how times have changed. Started when IT was DP. Prefer DP because at least there is a verb in the acronym. Know about star wheels an drum cards. COBOL taught me how to correctly spell Environment. Have a set of the first year of issue "Kilobaud / Microcomputing" wrapped/boxed unopened. Favorite quote, "The best thing about a computer is that it does exactly what you tell it to do. The worst thing about a computer is that it does exactly what you tell it to do." Got to go; it's time for Bingo.

Passed down an iPhone to my daughter when she was about 3 months old to be used in the monkey.

old enough! Bought my first cell phone in 1986! A 5 watt analog monster bag phone installed in my company truck with an 18" antenna on the roof. LOL!...Took my first comp class in 1973!

WOW, it hurts to even think back that far!

Cheers!

59 years old. 1972, freshman year in college. The big "craze" (like cell phones now) was owning a basic 4-function calculator. Throw those slide rules away !!

I'm coming up to 56, I joined the British army when I was 15 in 1972, and nearly 41 years later I'm still in.

43. First computer class was 7th grade. I think they were TRS 80. Funny, somebody mentioned calculators above, it was a bit before my time but I remember as a child the 'old people' talking about the controversy regarding calculators and whether not students would be allowed to use them since many couldn't afford the 'new' ones that could do complex functions.

I don't have one, but I like the S4. I checked out the S4 and HTC One at an AT&T store and I like the look and feel of the S4 better. I guess speakers aren't important to me.

Wow, so young. Do they still allow 15 year old's to join the British army, or has that since changed?

Yup, and "storage" referred to the box one carried punch cards in.

Tell me about it...lollllll.... I used to be a key punch operator in those days ......

Guess that I am the old fart around here. Am 60 years young and love my cell phones. Am a retired CSI Guy and have seen more death and destruction in a week than most have in a life time. lol Now after 25 years of that mess I have retired and now sell Chocolate, I have a sweet job.

Not quite....61 here and retired PO, with the rank of SGT, for the past 5 months.... Very real about the death and destruction in a week, I think what kept me sane was the other side of my life ...Computers and Cell Phones... and will start looking for a sweet job like your ....

 

[fantom305]

I did become a computer programmer, but I'm not sure I knew what one was in 1965. Then again..... My dad was in charge of the first Univac 1 computer in non-military use.

Hahahaha.... 6 years later than you I was programming in COBOL..... and sometimes punching my own cards.....

 

[fantom305]

Ok I'll play. 46
And I went to school for Computer Science. Remember Cobal, Fortran, and Pascal? Right! No one else does either...

I used to program in COBOL.... never in Fortran or Pascal always thought they were more complicated ...
