No, just snowing. But it was a driving snow.
You'll have to drive in to the Sierras to find out what snow looks like,

I learned the abend term from Novell which is where I presumed

Andrew,
Yeah.you were probably one of those
guys who gave me a tray of cards (I was an operator for a while) and right
smack in the middle of the stack would be a rubber band. That damn card
reader would munch about 5 cards when it jammed up. If I was in a good mood Id

Thanks for the trip down memory lane,
Andy.
For me it wasa new360(?) in
college in 1968. One of the seniors showed me how to run a thin diagonal stripe
down the side of the card deck to aid in sorting, should it ever be
necessary...
ABEND was absolutely in the vocabulary at

I can still program in 1401 Autocoder. Does that qualify?

I think so, too and I don't think it had anything to do with

DC I thought that went further back than that. I remember hearing

I remember it being a Novell Netware term.

Ah, you mean using a magic marker to write
a visual stripe on the edge of the cards, right?
