I get it. I'm old.
Millennials will be thinking about this for a while
Thinking? I don't think so, they are waiting for someone to tell them the answer.
Reminds me of an old joke:
A young arrogant snot-nosed kid was sitting on a bench with an old-timer.
The kid says, "Mr. when you grew up, you didn't have trains, planes, and automobiles."
The old fella says, "Son, you are correct. We invented them."

Lol … that is the basic requirement! :smile:
I guess I’m too young to know what that is.....
I don’t know what it’s like driving through a small town at 4:00 AM where all the lights are
out listening to Champion Jack Dupree complaining on a Kenwood pull-out....
..seven year old ex-army van (army maintenance made it run better than a new one)....
..,then switching to JJ Cale who makes a guitar cry and thinkin’ you’d rather be doing this
than anything else in the world.

Well, I guess you can be either too young or way too old to know what that is
My first programming class used this:

The same for me, the school had a state of the art IBM 360
LOL....
Kids won't be able to fathom....we didn't even have a monitor.
You ran the program and it printed out on a giant sheet of green bar paper using a huge dot matrix printer.

A TRS80 was an old Tandy/Radio Shack computer.. super primitive,
there was a big add on memory unit I think was 256mb!
And there was a matching dot matrix printer!
I didn't Google.. I had one!

Reminds me.
I used to get the Tandy Corp professional catalogues
Looked like a phone book. It was that huge!
I used those at a job back in the early 80s. Had 16K of RAM - multiple downloads from a floppy just to read a one-page letter. Wrote a loan servicing program in Basic...
A little before that time, at the same job, I saw my first fax machine.

The Job of the Future!
Reminds me that every magazine had adds to train to be a key punch operator, the job of the future! The future didn't last too long.
The first NC machine I ever saw was a lathe. It turned out the prettiest stainless steel trailer hitch ever seen by man. What was a marvel was the genuinely true round ball that it could turn all the way to the top. Nobody knew how to write for it or convert to key punch so I don't think that quarter million dollar machine at the vo-tech ever did anything but turn out those hitch balls. It was still the marvel of it's time!
