Explain what you do in 4 words or less. I’ll go first:

Automate software delivery 🚚

@nixCraft automate business processes.

Which is a mixture of:

Cry over keyboard.

Fix antique software.

Perform the impossible.

What's the most outdated piece of tech you own and still use regularly? 🤔

@nixCraft IBM PS/2 keyboards (not Model M), PS/2 KVM. Pioneer A-400X amp and Mission speakers. My main PC is ten years old, but several are 2 or three years older. My DSLR is over 10 years old too.

I have a 40 year old Commodore-64 and a SPARC station that's over 20, but they aren't in regular use.

Poll: Were you taught how to type on a computer keyboard in school?

@nixCraft the school didn't have enough computers, so half the class did geometric drawing and the other half did IT. Within IT it was three students to a computer, so virtually no way to learn typing.

At home on my C64 I learnt too two-finger type quickly and at University we had access to touch-type software which improved my typing no end.
