Sigh. For a certain value of "knows about," yes. (I read some stuff about it in my misspent youth, was intrigued, and at one point I think I actually owned a short book about it that I found at a college bookstore clearance.)

Sigh. If only I could monetize all the useless shit, I mean, knowledge, floating around in my brain. Not even monetize... just... I dunno.

All I had were second-hand horror stories from Mom. For a lady who swears she isn't a programmer, can't work with machines... and yet spent years working with APL.

She probably considers it math or something like that.
