Re: OPEN in RPGIII

I believe I still have somewhere the paper tape for a program I probably wrote in Fortran while at the U of Minn getting a degree in math and music. Lovely yellow paper help together with a rubber band. It ran on some kind of Control Data machine, 7000 something or other? No idea now. That was the late 60s. About the same time Stephen King was attending the U of Maine at Orono.

Actually I went to school on the system 34. First job was on a system 3. (96
column punched cards).
First real programming job was on the system 36. Remember the 5364? You had
to put a board in the PC that weighed 10 pounds to make it work. I think it
had a whopping 20 meg of disk. 256K of memory.
Not sure how much they cost. But you could probably get an entry level POWER
for that today.
