Thanks for making me feel like both an old man and a member of a
12-step program:  I'm Mitch, I'm 35, and I used Fortran eight years ago.

We once had a programmer who thought C was a dialect of Fortran.
He wrote the second 1000+-line C function I'd ever seen.
(The first was an interrupt service routine (!) from Ultrix,
for the Vaxstation console device.  Unfortunately, I've seen many
examples since then.)
