Apologies @treacle

My question was super agressive. I didn't mean it that way.

I have done a system reboot. Welcome to Neowin.

Someone wanted, some, background, so it's mainly a list of some old languages and defunct computers. Last 15 years, despite the ever changing web frameworks and moving from VM's to containers, were the most consistent. Wandered from development to management/consultancy but always came back to dev.

80's: Education: Pascal, Assembler & electronics
         UK Dev: COBOL on IBM & ICL mainframes
         Ingres & C on VMS - Client/Server
90's: UK Dev: Ingres & C on VMS & UNIX (IBM/ICL/Amdahl)
         OZ/NZ/UK Dev: C & MS SQL server on Windows - n-tier
00's: US Dev: VB6, C++ & Oracle
         C#, Web (ASP.Net/JavaScript) & SQL Server
10/20's:US Dev: C#, Web (ASP.Net/JavaScript/jQuery/Node.js/React) & SQL Server

Still "working" but on a voluntary basis for the local community.
