fp Avg Developer/User age

[Richard Kreiss]

Looks like am the old man at 74.

Started programming on a model 2 (1980) with profile and h ad to learn how to write print drive in assembler to use with my 9 pin dot matrix printer.  Replaced the Model 2 with a Model 16 and the hard drive with Xenix and Profile 16. 

Small Computer was located on 41st street at the time which was just around the corner form my office on 40th St and 7th Ave in NYC. 

For my 40th birthday (1983) my wife purchased fpsql for me as a surprise present.
