Uttered Ed Gurski <ed(a)gurski.com>, spake thus:
I am 55 and started work on punch card tabulating machines (IBM
408's),
grew up on Autocoder, advanced to assembler, learned Cobol and RPG
because I was a consultant in the 70's and 80's, and nver regretted not
being a manager.
Yeah! Right on, man! Let's bring back variable wordlength machine_s.
(That underscore is not a typo. It's a word mark.)
