Congratulations on your retirement but if like me you get calls for PT
work don't refuse!
I hit my 50th in 2013 but did work as an weekend operator on IBM 1401
and 7094 along with unit record equipment in 1961 - more money than a
paper round :)
Still get work but now I can pick and choose what I do, so no more Death
March projects or any thing smelling of such but mostly migration of
Cobol applications to other platforms or compilers.

Colleagues, I saying my professional goodbye. I retired at noon today
after 49 years and 10 months in the business. The career began sorting
cards and wiring panels. Progressing past all the card machines to
Autocoder, RPG, Cobol, VSE, VM, PL1, Quikjob, Easytrieve, Panvalet, SAS,
MVS sysprogging (barely qualified), Top Secret, RACF, it's become time
to hang up the sort needle and card gauge.
IBM-MAIN and Assembler-L (again, I barely qualify) have been a great
source of education and entertainment.
