[Gambas-user] Programming, age

[Peter Landgren]

My first program was written in 1964 in the language Algol Genius for computing filter coefficients. It 
was run om vacuum tube system, at least 20 m long. It had paper tape reader as input device. There 
were also magnetic tapes and a drum memory and a line printer. 

Now, being retired, I'm still confused sometimes and trying to learn.
