Just joined this community. I’m a retired Pure Mathematician aged 70. I started my first IT job in 1979, programming an HP-97 Desktop Programmable Calculator and then in 1982 I was in the very vanguard of the PC Revolution working on a Sirius 1 computer running under CP/M 80 & 86 with an Intel 8088 & 8086 architecture.
Since retiring early in 2004 I’ve gone back to my early vintage programmable days using calculators like the HP-41CX, TI-59, Sharp PC-1500/A etc.
I’m fine on the Pure Mathematics and Algorithms side but rubbish on the application side of electronics - the main reason I’ve joined is to try and improve my overall EE skills
