@bml_khubbard "@fpgahelper I was VERY frustrated with my UW experience in that I was interning every year in industry and everyone was doing C and yet UW CompSci department was entrenched on this Ada path probably Boeing influenced in retrospect"

"@jsnover This very thing got me hooked on computers in the late 1970's. A Y-Guides trip to Rocket Research (Aerojet Rocketdyne / JPL / L3Harris ) all the kids got to experience Adventure game through a VT100 terminal connected to IDK a PDP-10 I had my own TRS-80 Model-1 soon thereafter"

"@7alken2 @fpgahelper I enjoyed that era of building with DIP 8bit PIC and AVR MCUs. Bummer that FPGAs (Xilinx/AMD anyways) are only BGA now. I got really good at soldering TQFP packages. My BGA success rate was 50/50 and I gave up. It must be hard for kids to get started in electronics these days"

"@davepl1968 I'm really curious about that single BGA chip in the center. It appears to have traveled back in time almost a decade to co-exist with TQFPs like that Xilinx 4006 FPGAs. It's an odd mix of early 1990's and late 1990's IC manufacturing technology. I'm going to guess 1993"
