Re: Resistance to using RDi

Just to be clear: I started with punch cards, went to a Sys/2, Mod 6, and so on. RD1 is a graceful fit. C, CC, CR, CCR, D, DD, and all the rest of the stuff works just fine.

Still, I understand their fear.

I have two colleagues that started computer programming with punch cards, passing through s/36, s/38, as/400 and so on. They have had a (professional) lifetime of changes and now they just want to do what they feel comfortable with. I respect the knowledge and skills of both, and they are just as capable and efficient as I am, so there is no way I can do any more than encourage them to use RDi (and maybe show off the nicer features every now and then.)

If IBM ever remove SEU/PDM from use then things will have to change, but until then we'll work as an SEU/PDM compatible team.
