Happy Birthday though.

Happy Birthday mate
Yeah, I remember 48, it was a good year. 49 was when I got my first pair of reading glasses. Just hit the big Five O, still enjoying it.
I sure that I'm only half way, there is so much I still want to do down here.
Many, many more for you all.

Our kids taught us so we wouldn't feel isolated and lonely in our old age.

...and also so they wouldn't have to visit as much!

I like the atom bomb thrown in there, but when you were grown up the closest you came to a PC at school, was a typewriter with painted keys.

Never had such a thing when I was at school, PC's were at least 20 years away. We only had Pin Ball machines.

Used to love it when my older brothers used to take me to the corner shop, for some hot chips with tommy sauce and a game of pinnies. And share a 1 litre coke from a glass bottle, only to cash it in again when empty for another game of pinnies.

Close, but not quite. Maybe it was my Dad's mob that invented the A Bomb, I'm not that old, but my high school was amongst the first in WA to get hold of a second hand, Digital (DEC) PDP 11 computer, sometime around 1977. It supported several terminals. Was running twin hard drives, one which carried the guts of machine code (DB0 if I remember) and DB1 general duties.

This beast, as big as a wardrobe, sat in its own air conditioned room. It supported 'Basic Programming Language'. Students had their own personal login (hmm, trying to remember mine ). Even back then, raw as we were, there where attempts at hacking, trying to break into fellow students accounts by guess or by trick, even attempts to break into the account of the teacher who ran the show.

I programmed a few games that where popular with fellow nerds, hell, though I'm pretty lame these days, I guess I was amongst the first of the nerds. All black and white on the terminal, but interactive stuff.

Now, all I do is sit in front of my lap top, look, type and respond, not really understanding the I/O of what's happening.

Things were different, way back then.
