>I'm considered old here, in my mid 30's

I'm 62, and I'm not old yet, you're just a kid. ;-)

Seriously, there are some folks here who started on punch cards and/or paper tape in the 1960s.

I played with punch cards and polystyrene test samples from the Standard Oil Refinery where my father worked in the early 70’s and my first language after basic was Fortran 77. Not old either.

30 years ago my coworkers called me Grandpa, so I get it both ways.
