Steve,
I'm not sure fossil or old timer is appropriate for solid state....how about....wizard or historian?

  I started high school 40 years ago, and took Electronics shop as an
elective in my final year.  The instructor was a radio ham who had a working
rig there in the class (VE3SIC, if anyone cares...).
  Wwere told that the following year, they would stop teaching tubes and go
solid state.

My first work system was a Varian 622 (18 bit version of the Varian 620
16-bit) in '76 with the Navy.  I spent many an hour programming by the front
panel switches in Octal.  I still remember 210000base8 is an unconditional
jump.  :-)

My first personal computer was a Sphere circa '78-79 with tape and TV
RF-Out.  Had a Motorola 6800 and 1k of 8 bit memory.

I guess after working 41 actual years with electronics (started with tubes)
I'd be classified as either a fossil or an oldtimer.

   That was what I thought of when someone mentioned front panel switches!
Only it was on a 360/50 way back in '69 when I started. NDSU had gone from
an IBM 1620 to an IBM 360/50 with the help of an NSF loan about a year
earlier. For a while there was such a gap in processing speed we'd actually
shut down the computer in the evening. ;-)
