Age, what age, can't remember, can't count.

My first attempt at programming was FORTRAN II on a PDP-8S with 4 K (words of 12 bit memory) and a ASR-33 as system, input and
output device. Toggle boot, load loader, load system, load editor, edit , punch source, etc, etc.
Still have 32 K board of REAL core from an '11-40' as well as a functional 11-23.
So much for memory(s).
