Which late 60's are we talking about here? LOL
Since you asked ... Both 60's. I started programming in 1965 in college on an IBM mainframe using FORTRAN, Pascal, and COBOL. In the early 70's I was the first U.S. Steel employee to use my own APPLE II computer (with a super fast 300 baud modem) to build mainframe databases from a remote field office and to train others in word processing (text) and spreadsheets.
The bad viruses at that time were bad spots on floppy disks and tapes and PC Tools was the best PC utility available in the mid 70's to find and repair them. Norton purchased PC Tools and used the PC Tools programs and programmers for their new antivirus base. Symantec purchased Norton but kept the Norton name because of the PC Tools loyal followers.
I'm 69 now and retired from 50 years of programming everything from PC's to mainframes and every sized computer in between. I even programmed phone systems which now run on computers.
Well you asked --- :W
