Re: Using RDi on v7r2 or v7r3

Punch Cards are Fantastic!!!

When I started the company in 1989 I had a dull box of unused punch cards.

If you take a punch card and fold it length ways in half it would fit
perfectly in your top pocket and was perfect for writing notes on.

And being stiffer than paper was easy to write the note while standing
listening to a user provide feedback on a program or function.

Sadly I have run out of punch cards but now I have a smart phone with a
camera and notes and all sorts of fancy stuff to record the feedback.

Cheers

PS I remember having a stack of cards and JCL for a RPG program from a
punch card machine where the print mechanism was not working, (the punch
card machine used to print the instruction on the top of the card so you
did not have to read the holes in the card) and the rubber band broke -
cards everywhere, about 500 cards - now putting them back in order was so
much fun ... :-)
