New student of Java, but old-school programmer off-and-on (mostly off) for 40 years. Formative experiences in RPN on a HP-25 calculators (max 41 steps!), batch processing in FORTRAN on punch cards (full week between runs!), in BASIC (with line numbers before WEND, firmware on an eight-track-like cartridge) on a Sorcerer of Exidy (pre-Apple II, pre-MSDOS!), and in Pascal on a VAX-11/780.
