You sound old


Old ?

Old?

I was on the internet before it was called the WWW.

I had a PC in 1985.

I was using “Bill Pay” from “CheckFree” while you were still licking stamps.

I actually bought “Mosaic”.

Yep, I’m old.

That is not old, sonny.

I used to program computers with vacuum tubes in them.

Wrote assembly language code for a Univac 1105.

Before that, I sent & decoded messages using the rotating crypto dial on the back of my Captain Video glow-in-the-dark plastic belt's buckle.

That's older.
