Sure can. I usually had to do my own keypunching, especially when working late. Wish I had a buck for every time a compile failed because I absent-mindedly stuck the old card back in the deck and threw away the new one. > And the fun task of reading core dumps. All I can say is, you have a strange notion of "fun". As long as we are waxing nostalgic, how about old-master, new-master update processing on sequential files? Or the ear-splitting sound of old line printers with the cover open? The unique sound of a 1403-N1 printing a barber-pole test pattern? I don't miss the "good old days" at all. =========================================================== Norman Morgan <> [EMAIL PROTECTED] <> http://www.brake.com =========================================================== When you do a good deed, get a receipt, just in case heaven is like the IRS =========================================================== ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
