Yeah, but it was "fun" creating those programs on cards. That was when
you actually read the books to learn how to program. After that I worked
for a company that sent me to IBM programmer training... First thing the
teacher said was that we didn't have to take any notes 'cuz everything
was in the book. Um, well, I had already read the book. She didn't
appreciate it at all when I came up with better way to do level break
printing - and proved it... 

Oh well. That's history. If I recall correctly...I'm 61. Actually the
first machine I "sorted cards" for was a Sys 30... Those guys were
smart! They wouldn't let me touch the machine... :-)

You are not that old.  I decided to learn RPG when I found out that the
electrict company was buying a systen/3, and it only had RPG.  (Fortran
and Cobol where added later). I learned it in a 1130.
