Same goes for those of us who programmed IBM mainframes.
All caps don't bother me for that reason. However, I understand that
it does bother some people, so I avoid it.
What bothers me more is "textspeak," especially failure to use mixed
case. Not capitalizing the letter 'i' when used as a pronoun is
irritating.

Those of us who started in the "telecom" business with classic
teleprinters are very used to reading upper case only. Even into today,
HF marine safety and press bulletins and traffic are transmitted in
upper case because Baudot and SITOR RTTY use International Telegraph
Alphabet Number 2 which does not have lower case.
Those of us who are fluent in languages that do not use "Latin"
characters are comfortable with a single-case alphabet.
