You're having a giraffe.
1992 was not 1902. 1992 had pretty much all the elements of modern computing,
albeit at not quite such a speed.
Algorithms in a loop was *commonplace* in the mid-70s, when I started. And I'm a
newcomer...

For goodness sake. I've been programming since the 1970's. We did use loops back
then you know. The past was a different country, but not one inhabited by morons
and idiots. The technology wasn't in the same class, but the people who used it
were often quite fiendishly clever in finding ways to work around the
limitations of the hardware.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
