Re: why rpg and not cobol

Just found a Gutenberg Project version of the book I thought mentioned this - http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/729/pg729.html - the book is Hackers, Heroes of the Computer Revolution, by Stephen Levy. Pretty much a lot of a good read, as I recall.

Actually, the proper title is "Daisy Bell."

(And the only reason I know that is that my favorite female vocalist is
Joan Morris, who sang it on her 1999 CD, "Moonlight Bay."
