Wasn’t trying to call anyone old.

Sir. That means you had to unlock the boot loader and load custom firmware. That’s amazing! Good on you getting the Atari, I bet that early access to a more complex user interface gave you the ability from then on to understand future systems.

That’s incredible about the phone system, it’s still crazy to me to think of phone switching stations with the women in there, transferring calls. Very interesting.

I work on a boat so I’m used to buckets as my bathroom haha I would have no problems with an old out house!

I respect your willingness to learn technology given you’re an older gentleman. I know some people your age who program but I also know many your age who just walk around barely knowing how to use their phones/computer etc.

There’s so much potential on the devices. It’s like a magic little pocket pool that can do and tell you whatever you want. I’m sure from the time you were a kid until now has been quite exciting.
