They were all 65+ One was 75. And that was 15 years ago. They are the guys that invented a lot of the technology we use all the time today.
I was the puppy of the group.
In the old days of DOS if you type dir the directory went flying past. Of course dir/p would do it page at a time but if the file was 10 pages down it took forever. One of the guys wrote a directory program that would let you scroll up or down. He was reluctant to share it because he said it was sloppy code and it was a 4K program. He said is should be just 2K.
One of the group wrote the firmware code for the hard drives that he said that patent was licensed to almost all the other drive makers. Of course he made nothing of off it. He wrote it when he worked for Control Data. He designed the controller as well.
