Thanks for bursting my bubble :) Go Fortran!!!!! I also did some Z80 microprocessor stuff in school using hex input keypads and DIP switches. I have to credit DOOM and sound cards for getting me to move from Engineering to IT. I had some background in computers and programming languages but trying to get a SoundBlaster 'compatible' sound card to play sound in DOOM on a 286 really got me to sink my teeth into operating systems and the foibles of hardware/software/drivers.
