Super weird question, but ...
... is anyone out there conversant in Assembly for a 1960s-era IBM 7090, or machines of that lineage?
I'm working on an article that includes some Assembly of that vintage ...
... and want to make sure I'm describing what it does correctly
if this describes you or someone you know ...
... hit me up, I'd love to tap your expertise!

@clive Ironic thing is, my uncle, who passed away last year in his late 80s, used to install the first computers like this. For decades, he would tell us the stories about how big, heavy, low computing power, etc they were compared to today.
He had his full mental faculties when he passed away. So, a year ago, I probably could've hooked you up.
@clive The first decade it was. Got tedious around the 4th and 5th decade. 🤭
Was the inspiration for my decision to enter the field as much as I have.
aha, gotcha
that is a pretty cool venn overlap
