Re: *** ADMIN: New poll topic on www.midrange.com

Bob,

The 360 wasn't on the list. So I had no other choice but to pick the
"earliest".

Actually, I started my carrier on the S/3, the high school I went to
offered a Fortran IV class on a 360 for us propeller heads ;-)

Later, in college, I paid good money to learn something, I think was
called "Abosulte" and "Symbolic" on an 1130? Where you had to do your
own memory map.

Upon reflection, it was a good introduction to one of the objectives of
compiler writing.

At the time I thought it was a waste of money. That was until a
programmable 3741 was introduced and I wrote a shipping app in APL, (A
Programming Language) if I recall correctly.

That's the problem with being a geezer .... sometimers .... later it
will be alltimers =:-o
