I keep a pack of 5081's and 3700's in my desk drawer to keep things in
perspective when I am running short on disk in my 80GB desktop. I spent
many an hour standing in front of an IBM Card Sorter, sorting 40 trays of
cards by SSN for taxes. Service bureau job. Hmmmmm - I'm showing my
age....
I keep that in mind when I go to complain about how hard it is to get some
things done today. Maintaining a logical over the data on my 270 would
probably take so little time I wouldn't be able to measure it.
BTW - I'd like to hear the Nathan joke.....

I am getting a COMPLEX with all the talk about the "nathan" joke! Could
somebody please tell me whether it is about me? :-)
The only time I ever used punched cards was to build a "house of cards"
when I was 10 years old! (My brother was in IT long before I was.)

Is that the one about "slash, Nathan" - back in the days of punched cards
and OCL decks? I didn't hear it (first) from Dave, but I have used it for
at least 30 years. I heard it from Tom Neuman - at the time he was head of
IBM education in Milwaukee - later went on to be an IBM Branch Manager in
Iowa. I still have a page of his jokes.
Dave and I go back at least to the 70s - and we can also attest to his vast
MAPICS and manufacturing knowledge. I think I even have some autographed
copies. Are they worth more?

Dave,
I know I'm getting old and all, and my memory isn't what it used to be, but
I don't remember a "Nathan" joke. Did you hold out on me?

What's wrong with the "Nathan" joke?
It's always been a favorite!
In fact, I still use it.
Seriously, thanks for the kind words.
I have not done any direct consulting with MAPICS users for a couple
years
but I still like to stay in touch. And I still have a few copies of
those
books taking up space in my closet.
