I've programmed PDP-11, Z80, 8086, 68HC11, i386 all in assembler.
I've programmed in a few varieties of Basic, Turbo Pascal, Fortran, PL/N, Forth, Excel (a declarative programming environment), and SQL.
I've repaired everything from 3 phase 480 SCR packs through Atomic Clocks.
I wrote a multi-tasker for Turbo Pascal, just because I needed one... back in the days of MS-DOS.
I wrote a Forth in Assembler for OS/2, just because I was told you COULD NOT write assembler programs for OS/2.
And yet.... it was only yesterday[1], I learned about Stack Frame Pointers, and their use.
There's always more to learn, and it's amazing. 8)

- yodon 3y ago>my first email address was ihnp4!chinet!ka9dgx For those not familiar with bangs (exclamation points) in email addresses, there was a time when you had to include routing information in the address so your server would know how to find the destination server. Each hop in the routing path was separated by a bang.
