People have been programming since the 70's?!!?!! I didn't think
it was possible until the early 90's! Wow I must be young! ;)

~Philip:
Read up on the history of computers -- the first programmer, as I
recall, was one Lady Lovelace who programmed Babbage's first
mechanical computer (if you don't count the abacus) in the early
1800's.
Of course, I remember programming with rocks and that was before we
had zero's. We only had one's and that was a programming nightmare.
You new guys at least have 1's and 0's to work with.
Best,

tedd,
I laughed my head off about your 'rocks' statement! Thanks for that.
For those of you who didn't pick up on my sarcasm previously, do so
now. =D I'm not *that* young. Hehe
