What kind of computer did you work on?
40 years would make it 1964? 40 years of programming? Let's say you started at 25?
I'm not trying to give you a hard time. But, if what you are saying is true, you would be a very unusual person. Very few people would have gone thru what you have gone thru and still be programming. No disrespect - just want to find out.
Come on - are you a "card jock".
