Chuckle, my first work with computers was in 1961. The machine filled
several rooms and was full of tubes.
Carl goes back further. So I think does Jim Sack.
So yes, you are a newbie. Sadly though, that does not make us grand masters,
just "experienced." LOL.

Me too! I started in 1959 on a giant machine that used tubes, a
Burroughs 220. I remember that the mean time between failures was about
15 minutes. It was slow and fussy, with a 4K mercury delay line memory
and punched card input/output.
