I'm a maintenance spark at Albany International. We makes parts for paper making machines. I do basic programming and fault finding. Wouldn't mind getting into doing the plc stuff full time but I don't feel that confident yet as I can go for months at a time without doing any plc work so my experience is limited.

Proper thread digging this btw

My very first PC was a 186DX (iirc) running about half the speeds of the very first Pentium CPU with 4MB RAM, 1MB graphics and a 100MB HDD running Windows 3.1

3.11 was released in 1994 (well 31/12/93), so you clearly dont remember, and need to stay in to research your false claims more.
