I learned to write Basic code and Fortran in the middle sixties. I worked for IBM. IBM contracted me out to the Department Of Energy ( Department Of Geological and Sedimentary Petroleum) in Calgary Alberta which had 6 360's working in series. The only other place in the world with that many 360's working in series at that time was NASA. I was then contracted as a Systems Engineer to the Department of Agriculture and worked in the data processing department.
I know what a fucking 286 was/is.
