So is the above Jeff, I was programming an RCA 1802 when it was new in
1979, writing a program for a tv station (KRCR-12) in Redding CA w/o
even an assembler that was still in many times a day use in the late
90's when it burnt to the ground. Fire had no connection to that Cosmac
super elf. Programming was a heck of a lot simpler back then.
What were you doing in 1979? Have your fingerprints on the pcb's in the
cameras been to the bottom of the mohole? Mine have. That year was 1959
and the cameras were on the navy's Trieste. By the way, water IS
compressible when the pressure is about 18,000 PSIA.
Now I'm retired, outlived the 3 women who have shared my bed, and 8 of
my 12 children since the first 2 wives came with kids of their own, now
90 yo, diabetic and a widower, and cpu's can have dozens of cores that
understand hundred of commands that didn't exist when I started.
Go ahead, sit for the CET test. That will test your intimate knowledge
of Albert Einsteins work, among other things.
Ask me something about electronics, or relativity, I can still do that.
Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
