I describe myself as a 'Hardware hacker' (old usage, before the black hats stole it).
Wrote my first proggy in Assembler code on a PDP-8L using a Teletype

, but never made the switch to non-modal languages in current use.
I ticked build it and running in 15. (Hey!
An OS booting is part of running the OS install disk). They did not say, the FINAL OS

)
I get down to the soldering Iron level for through-hole components. (I also change out the fans
inside the PSU when they get noisy)
I was in IT Hardware support back when the IMB PC was new
