Just so you know (not just for this comment)--you are my favorite HN user. Everything you post is either funny, quirky, or extremely interesting (mostly all of the above).

And, to add to this (I'm not being snarky), he could be the father/grandfather of many HNers. I recall one of his comments about how he was doing stuff on computers in 1965.

Thanks, but my age was negative in 1965! (But not very.) Maybe I was taking credit for somebody else's work and forgot to get my story straight. ;)

Old coders never die, they just get frozen until their favorite programming languages come back into fashion.
