Wait, since you're like 70 (no offence dude) you've seen the dawn of the internet and since you work/worked at berkeley, that must mean you once had access to one of these early arpanet computers, right?
I'm not offended; my age is what it is (closer to 75 than 70). I used to bounce around jobs and schools back then, so I've used PDP-10 systems at the MIT and Stanford AI Labs as well as a Vax at Berkeley. And assorted others on shorter-term visits. I am "bh" on all those old computers, which is why I hate the newfangled idea that usernames have to be ≥4 letters. (In case that sounds arrogant, those old computers had maybe 200 users each, not billions as they do today.)
woah
do you potentially possibly theoretically maybe have any disks from any of those computers with files?
because if you do id love if you could show us some
Umm. What kinds of files are you envisioning? Most files back then were, you know, text, same as now: mail, books, articles, contracts, song lyrics, lists (in the nontechnical sense), manifestos, stuff like that. Not so many photos and songs because our disks were smaller than current ones (in capacity, not in physical volume; quite the contrary). Are you looking for computer programs? In the PDP-10 days, a lot of software was written in assembly language (a human-readable notation for machine language); by the time of the Vax, system programs (the kind I mostly wrote and read) were largely in C. But of course there were lots of higher-level languages, most notably Lisp, which was developed in the places where I hung out.
So, what are you after?
i know what assembly is 
mostly computer programs, but seeing some text files from the time would be interesting too
Okay, lemme look around...
Yayy
