I have COBOL program listings that are older than you :-).

I've been making my living herding computers since February 1966,
and *nix systems since 1982 when Tandy introduced Xenix on the
Model 16.

I met John Esak in 1982 or so when I was managing a Radio Shack
``X Deparment'' a block and a half from the Radio Shack Computer
Center where he was a computer marketing rep.
