Unfortunately, I'm considered an 'old head' these days. Although, I can brag that I once had an apprentice named Avon, and he is still around.
I'd argue that he didn't turn out all that bad, either. :)
Well I still have some hair left.... does that count. TMI :) ??
In many respects quite a few of us are ahem 'older' heads now ..
cassette tapes, VHS va Beta Max, Color TV, Boom Boxes, Casio digital watches and calculator games, Space Shuttle LED gameboy ?? games..
Speak N Spell (not the album ;-)) ... Fido in the 90s, dial up, dial up SLIP accounts to Unix logins, toll calls.. of the toll of toll calls...
War Games (movie)... Whiz Kids TV show from 80s.... and on it goes... :)
Jeez, you ARE old!
Just kidding, pretty sure I can check off just about all of the above as well.

God, I am old!! I lived through all of that, including Buster Brown
shoes (Not sure if they were available on the other side of the
world)... Oh and don't forget the little 6oz I think milk containers at school!
..as will a few others of us... righto, will drop this thread now, I'm
off topic too unless I talk about history of Mystic etc.. :)

school!
My high school still had teletypes in the computer lab and punch tape in the print shop.

We must be of the same vintage! I learned to program (basic) on a
teletype and paper tapes.
My high school had Commodore CBMs, like a Pet but with a real keyboard,
80 columns and 32K of memory. The professor brought in a small WANG computer that read punched cards for data entry and had us all use it.
We didn't understand why, he just asked us to trust him, we'd
understand.

Heaven forbid that you drop those cards and they get out of order. :)
Mystic is about as old as dirt, too! :)

So, technically, I started out programming with punch cards. :)

I saw a senior (in college) do that to a full box late one night. I thought he was going to break down and cry.
