Back in the days of DOS 3.1 we built a little computer club that I called the Geezers club.I was the only member that still had a job, the rest had all retired. The engineer of the year for Bell Labs was one member. We had a bunch of retired Segate employees only back then it was MPI or Control Data. The guys they wrote the firmware for hard drive control boards and designed hard drives were members. One guy was the head of the computer department and helped install their first computers and wrote the code that ran the FAA.
I was WAY WAY WAY out out my league with those guys. It was always a super fascinating meeting. We met at my office back then after work hours. Listening to friendly arguments between computer geeks was a real learning experience.
The guy that was the head engineer at AT&T helped me program my US Robotics Dual Standard 14.4K modem.
