   Actinic keratosis can lead to a skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma. Basal cell carcinoma is more common and you need minor surgery from a dermatologist. As a sun worshiper back in the 80’s, I have multiple scars from too much sun.

   Back in August 1970 I went to work for Ma Bell. Five months later I was promoted into the Electronic Switching System #1. We didn’t have hard disks back then, semi-permanent memory was stored on 6.5"X11.5" aluminum cards with tiny magnets welded to it. Each card held 320 bytes of information. There were 9,216 cards duplicated in active/standby configuration. Ram or what we called “Call Store” held call processing info. There were a little over 50 frames that held a one cubic foot core of 8K memory. The CPU was about 8’w x 6’h x 1.5’d divided into three frames, again duplicated in active/standby.
