Off topic ... undergrad code stuff

Ever wonder how many Computer Science students save their code? I moved recently and had to clean out the trash I accumulated over the years and came upon some University assignments. I looked over the code and was amazed at how such complex code (then) looks so simple (now), and decided to keep the stuff for another couple of decades.

Cheers, PW.
