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! ;)

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
