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

October 15th, 1979 for me on a System/34 (don't know the model) in RPG.
When RPG was RPG. I've worked for the same small consulting firm ever
since and still love the challenges. I've had to make sure the
System/32's printer was working so I could compile my programs. Not only
have I been here during the hardware evolution, I've worked on each
version of the operating system as well. I've become a specialist, but
of what? I've just written thousands of programs, designed hundreds of
solutions, upgraded dozens of systems.

I once worked on a System3 in Acapulco, Mexico circa 1980. Besides
working on System 3/32/34/38/400s, I've been programming the Intel based
boxes since my own PC/XT. My first home computer actually was a Radio
Shack Color Computer.
