This is pretty cool, in my book. I was first paid for programming 57 years ago, and have continued to program. I even was programming while I was CSO (but didn't tell anyone). To this day, I feel vaguely uncomfortable if I haven't programmed for a while. Flow is a bit less due to other responsibilities, but I do enjoy even a little programming.

A while back, I tallied all the languages that I had programmed in and it was like 36 (if I can count the machine languages produced by compilers I worked on). There are a few more, like Snobol and Prolog, that were part of coursework. These days, almost all of what I do is in Common Lisp.

Your System 6 looks quite cool.

And no, I don't plan to actually retire--I'll always be programming.
