Everyone's infected!

Hey if you keep having birthdays this frequently, you will soon surpase me. :wave: :wave: :wave:

[I was probably sitting infront of a DEC PDP-8 writing a new version of the FOCAL interpreter for dedicated electronics testing when you "popped" ito this world.. :eek: :eek:

LOOOL :lol: I have heart sometime somewhere something about DEC PDP-8, however, but never did anything with it, probably because it's from before my time like you suggest ;) However, what is a FOCAL interpreter? (I know I could just google for it, but I'm too lazy at this moment :D)

Focal was an interpreted language that was developed in France in the mid-1960's. It became very popular for use on the PDP-8, where the ENTIRE memory space could be as low as 4K words (and maxed out at 16K words).

Believe it or not, you could run a multi-user system (TSS/8) that suppored up to 32 users!

We've come a long way ... now we have multi gigabytes of RAM ;) :D

Nice :) I think back in those days developers had to be much more creative to get certain things done on the available hardware. Of course this also made it much more difficult to program I can imagine. Nowadays, you can write a quick and little application in C# and .NET, however, running this will require the .NET framework which rings in at several megabytes...
