Hi Carmen,
At different jobs in the '80s:
1) "Decision Support" with the ADRS add-on (at a computer hardware company)
2) crunching Nielsen marketing data (at a large multi-national food company)
3) actuarial stuff (insurance)
Regards,
David

I wrote a couple of programs.
A very powerful language and quite cryptic.
Programs were coded in RPN, weren't they?
Not RPN, but APL has no operator precedence, so if you expect 3+4x2 to
come out to 24 rather than 14, you'd need some brackets.
