  Boomers is 1945 to 1965.

  Plenty of them out there walking around.

  It’s legal to speak to them.

    Yeah, some of them are pretty cool too. I have now met two of the folk who worked on UNIX (one of the men with articles on wikipedia and one of the women who did the heavy lifting. men didn’t really do a lot of coding in the punchcard days, they stayed in the C-suite, according to my friend who did the punchcards at bell labs. when i see [name redacted] next, i’m going to have to tease him and ask him what he thinks about that. knowing him, he’ll say it’s all true)

    they’re both boomers, btw. fun folk

    Thanks for the info, I will not follow. I skip that generation and talk to the silent gen and gen x.

      Got it.

      You think you’re too cool to talk to Cher or Dolly Parton.
