Wow Mike you lucky dog...... you had ones and zeros, we only had 'dots' and 'blanks' when I was young.
And you had bridgeports with an obsidian end mill, we had to use our teeth to scrape shavings off our crude castings of bronze.

: You kids don't know how good you have it!

: When I started programming, we didn't have all these sissy icons and windows...
: All we had were ones and zeros...
: Sometimes, we ran out of ones...
: Ever try programming a control in nothing but zeros?
: Did ya? Huh?
: And when ya ran out of zeros, you had to use the letter O...

: And don't even ask about the obsidian end mills for the Bridgeports...
