I was looking for something and found an old green-bar print-out of an SPS program I wrote in 1971. This was at Gateway High School in Monroeville, Pa., the same school pg went to a few years later. I imagine they upgraded to a modern language like FORTRAN, COBOL, or PL/1 by the time pg rolled up his sleeves in that data center.

I was working in Monroeville, PA doing FORTRAN at Westinghouse. I didn't really consider that programming though. Got into Ruby, found that the web didnt regulate my every move. Quit my job to learn full time and haven't looked back.

Wow, I used to live in Birnam Wood, the apartment complex adjacent to Gateway High School. I didn't realize you or pg were from the area too. Living down in the city now though (Pittsburgh, for anyone else reading this).

I went to Woodland Hills, graduated a few years ago. Spontaneously decided to click on the comments and was surprised to see this.
