Still do octal. Used to know EBCDIC, used to know JCL DD cards, used to
know BCEDIC, used to know Baudot 5-level. Still probably know Unix dd.
Once knew someone who built himself a computer out of old pinball
machines and an Oliver typewriter. I also remember when I walked to
school through snow deeper than I was tall, and it was uphill both ways.
My computers are old, too, but not THAT old.
