I was like 10 when I first read about her. All I remembered was that she invented COBOL.

Who knew that decades later, COBOL would still be around...I don't develop in COBOL, but I have to compile them whenever Oracle sends out a PeopleSoft bundle update.

BTW, there's an answer to the very last question that you asked....your first question's answer would start with "My..." and the last question would start with "Your..."
