My oldest stuff is from the 1950s. I learned to program in 1963, worked at interesting places in the 1960s, and started my first software company in 1972. I have nearly fifty working (I think) systems, plus all the software and documentation. Millions of lines of code by myself and my companies, much of it in widely use products through the decades. Also, massive documentation of work we did on national and international standards bodies.

I have items to duplicate a major university lab from around 1969-1970. I have preserved the software starting in 1966 until today.

You think you have problems!
