IBM plugboards 45 years ago, and I don't think many folks here will be

absolutely.
But, do y'all have to constantly remind me how old I'm getting?
BTW, the 5150 ("Danger to itself and others") came out in August 1981,
long after many other machines were well established, so your "BASIC" and
"PC experience" years += about 5.
