Just tried going to the Pass Labs site, got a big fat message from Chrome:
The site's security certificate is not trusted!
Anyone else see this? Hope it hasn't been hacked!

I just checked and the certificate looks fine. You may have a problem with your root or intermediate certificates on your tablet. I'm not familiar with how tablet updates work but you may need an update, especially if the CA has changed their certs shortly before the latest pass labs cert was issued (which was on 1/1/2013).

I cached the stx root files in my boot registry, and then reinstalled chrome and my usb drivers. fixed the problem, for me.......
Or did I root out the xts files in my cache directory??? I forget.... I'm old.
I still have my Southwest Technical Products 8080 PC..... it has a punched paper tape reader, and a plethora of toggle switches.........😱
(Actually, the date/time question is a valid point. In particular, if you have a PC with a date/time set EARLIER than the website certificates. I learned this the tedious way, playing with an early Dell Latitude....)

WE are not worthy you are truly almost OLD School . If you had a sage next door for heat or a least an eniac in your basement then you would be old school. By the way I did COBOL and FORTRAN in high school.
(One of my college summer jobs was writing early FORTRAN compiliers for the IBM 360 family of "mainframes" at the IBM lab. I did that work in conjunction with Daniel McCracken--if you know FORTRAN, that name should wring a bell....)
I looked at 360 Assembler once.... decided to do all my systems programing in Cobol. It was a bit tricky doing any recursive algorithm's but once I worked out how to do my own stack it was fine 😉 I was spoilt and learned 68000 assembler first. Other architectures after that were just weird.

I coded in 360 assembly. I was fine until I needed to use floating point. The reference I bought to figure this out said floating point instructions were "outside the scope of this text." Eventually I worked it out.
My first Fortran was Fortran 2.
A friend once told me she worked for IBM on tube computers. I can't claim to go back that far, but I remember seeing them.
