[QUOTE="YFCvii, post: 148632, member: 3252"] ... you just sparked a flashback for me ... It was a question in my studies with an answer that is still etched on the inside wall of my thick skull for an exam I had in Tech School. I believe Fortran (known then as Formac) came to life in 1962. Text-string languages, however, were being developed in the 50's ... There being no internet ... the public had no idea what was to come ... as there was even a couple of video games back then too ... :Wideyed: I actually found "formula manipulation" (formac/fortran) rather fascinating in creating a path with intent for a desired result ... Those who also remember doing this may recall formulating a "random number generator" that would not repeat a sequence. :bucktooth: in my leisure time though ... it was vinyl records ... my first being "American Pie" on 45 ... there ... thread back on the rail again ... :joyful: [/QUOTE]
