I still do all of my coding in Fortran! That's because I'm a stupid lazy coder and don't know anything newer, but it does the job for me, which is 99% array manipulations.

I had my first e-mail in 1991, U of Illinois was the center of the Universe at the time for computing and internet and such.
in 85/86 we were writing programs to connect an Apple GS to a laser disk player, you could use the computer to print overlays on the screen to annotate stuff. You know, like Powerpoint
