I said "a long time", not "a time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary". I remember when the first VT100's arrived superseding the VT52's we had been using up to that time. (12 lines on the screen and a bell like a door buzzer). BTW, there is a specific date, at least in England, for the beginning of legal memory: 3 September 1189.
