| Old enough to not use decimal for my age.Old enough to have used punch cards (once).Old enough to think Britney looked good as a schoolgirl.Old enough to remember when every project was like government contract (bottomless cash pit).Old enough to remember when you didn't have a hope of getting anything working without a couple of years of training.Old enough to know that it's better to know a few things well rather than a lot of things poorly.Old enough to know that you actually need to use less than 50% of a product.Remember buying my first PC - without a mouse because I didn't think windows would take off.Also went for ingres because it was a lot better than oracle and would probably put it out of business.Got a few things right though.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy.Edited by - nr on 03/13/2003 13:21:27 |

Holy Smokes! That's where I learned to code .. on an old PDP 11/40 ... coding in BASIC! Woo hoo! Then I saved up my money and bought an Atari 400. Complete with a cassette tape player for backup. Oh those days playing Frogger and Archon.===============================================Creating tomorrow's legacy systems today.One crisis at a time. |

My first home computer I was the board repair center for a PDP-8/E based system and inherited a complete unit in the late '70s, with 2ea 5mb Diablo disk drives in a full 19" rack, and a 500lb CDC line printer (plus the asr33 of course). It pretty well filled up the spare bedroom but was a lot of fun.After that I was the only Atari repair person at the ill-fated CDC retail computer stores. I used to test units in for repair with extensive game-playing.======Doug G====== |
