 I appreciate your assessment on that.

 A Univac? I saw one of those at the U. of Alabama
 in Huntsville. Our generation was privileged to
 have seen the rapid evolution of computing from
 rather primitive beasts of machines to the svelte
 little systems of today with so much power. Young
 people presumably take it all for granted. I have
 written simple programs and entered them via
 punchcards, then interactive teletype, and finally
 through an interactive screen+keyboard, all in
 college using mainframes, and then saw PCs introduced.
 I think I got my first one around 20 years ago also,
 maybe more. An 8088 DOS-box was fun, because I like
 learning stuff and there was so much to learn and
 experiment with! Almost everything I learned then
 is useless now, of course, new Windows versions
 won't let me do clever DOS stuff, for the most part.
