Well, you beat me by 20 years! I started in 1973, working on Key-to- Disk system to replace paper tape and punched cards!

What is the thing that most impresses you about "modern" computer technology?

What is the thing that most depresses you?

A Challenge to the list members.

On June 14, 1957 I entered into my life long love affair with the computer. Back then it wasn't called IT. It was simply DP. COBOL and Basic didn't
exist. Fortran was only a baby.

My first computer was peg boards, sorting machines and card readers, and
chain printers.

If you calculate the years and days properly you will see it comes to fifty
years.

My challenge is a simple one.

Is there anyone on the list with more time in the profession than me. Or am I the "Last Man Standing"?
