Older than Electronic computers

[Jimisbell]

My introduction must begin with my first computer, the IBM 7070 in 1960. We programmed it with a 7 bit paper tape by pulling the tape thru the reader, no automation.
I once programmed in 13 languages but no longer program.
I came to android because it was based on Linux and I understood that.

And now? You are like me? Blink, and you are lost. You are before my time, but I remember working with ada, R, visual basic and a few others when I was getting started.
Then I decided to make some real money because I was married and a kid on the way.
Been in construction since.
Anyway, enough about my history, enjoy your time here and remember the fun times when all was new. And sometimes frustrating.

I am having a problem navigating this forum. I noted a picture of a sports car in one post and could not find where it was posted. I am a car nut with a big collection and was interested.

There's several sports cars & cars on the "Show us your pictures." pinned thread (for Samsung Galaxy S25 Series).

Hello to you, and welcome to Android Central ! I know nothing about Android programming, or Linux, but would like to learn Linux, as we've been buying Microsoft software since 92', and so we're somewhat sick & tired of being hosed and price-gouged every year for MS's current yearly rental... for their Microsoft 365 Office —of which the annual renewal pymnt seems to come around quicker every year —for the basic MS Office software that you used to be able to buy, once !:~\
