So you're totally missing out on 68k assembler (that's the old chip on the Apple II device)... Seriously, experience is a lot but in our industry 85% of the stuff I have experience with is no longer applicable. I used to be an expert in CORBA, had a ton of books on OpenDoc. Hell, you'd probably need to Google them and SOM, OS/2 etc.
COBOL is still around but I don't want to touch that crap with a 10ft long pole.

Experience just means I'm old.

I just bought a book on Z80 assembly language for the ZX Spectrum 😛
