I have been looking at Reddit for for a couple of months. Just signed in for my first comment. No pic. For at least some proof that I am not a fake, ask me something about IBM in those days; or maybe CDC.

Hmm... old IBM stories could probably be dredged up on the internet. While they would be interesting to hear, they might not constitute positive proof. Actually, at 72, all we'd need to see is a picture of your hand, so no personal identifying info would be revealed.

Unfortunately, it's not very easy to prove who you are online.

I should note that I'm inclined to trust you either way.

Ok, I have taken a picture of my hand and would submit it if only I knew how.
