Prof. Hardell says:
	By the way I wrote my first computer program in June of 1955 @ IBM
	world headquarters.

Can anyone here beat that? (Don't try, Craig.)

I wrote my first program in 1963 in Gate (A Fortran derivative) for the Bendix G20. The followup to this language was PILE (for Prison in London England (Newgate, get it?)). My next programs were in 1964 in IPL V (Carnegie Tech's long dead competitor to Lisp).
