Re: Proportion of programming languages on AS400

[boothm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

oh.  Glad to bring happiness to a curmudgeon.   Was any one part funnier 
than the other parts?

I swear that I remember this from way back in the early 1970s.  What 
language were they using then?  Isn't C and C++ much newer than the 1970s?

Hello Booth,
