Age

I'm 60, 61 next week. I was not really very fond of computers, and still have a very nasty antagonism for sloppy programme planning. (Some idiots not only do not know what material to ask for, they don't know what to do with it after they get it). As a result, I was late to join the computer scene. My first machine was a C-128D, although I dreamed about a Memotech. I don't programme or have very much interst in electronics. My degrees are in English. Since I now qualify for free tuition, I have gone back and am planning to get degrees in Film Studies. So, my orientation is entirely towards The Adolescence of P1 and Desk Set rather than RT-11 or hardware. Oddly, though, I have become very interested in the history of these old machines, especially Wang. I don not think people really appreciate the wonderful things that computers have been able to do for the art of writing. M. K. Peirce Rhode Island Computer Museum, Inc.
