I'm fairly certain that was a tongue in cheek response from cnoe.......but I've been wrong before. 

 

 

I'll bet you are right, It went right past me.

Yeah, I was trying to be humorous. I should probably keep my day job.

Surprised it's still in the plane, but then again there might still be an old box of 8-track tapes in my attic, so I shouldn't be talking.

I remember punching cards for a computer programming class in college and you'd have to have each card in the correct order or the program wouldn't work. There could be hundreds of cards for a simple program and you guarded them with your life because some jokers would move one card. Yep......old school

Even worse, some who shuffle them.

Or even worse, dropping the Fortran keycards on the way to the computer center to run your final exam project.

Not as old school as some of you, but I had a TI99 with the cassette player storage back in high school. 16k of RAM!  Much better than the 5k offered by the commodore Vic 20.

Ha. I forgot about the speech synthesizer. I used to type in the free BASIC programs in compute! magazine. Maybe they were the good old days but you'd have to pry my aviation GPS from my cold dead fingers before I gave it up!
