Ever been sitting in a coffee shop, working on your laptop or tablet device, and an old guy starts talking to you and you’re all, “Sigh. An old guy talking to me,” and then you find out the old guy invented the first programmable computer?

This guy had just that happen to him. Great story. (And don’t miss the follow-up.)
