Age is just a number, but it can be disheartening when its computed using a Cray... :D





<O>

a Cray!! Now you're showing your age!! I owned a complete ICL 2903 setup as shown here:
http://www.computerconservationsocie...14-15/2903.jpg
Total RAM memory 128k
2 x 11" HDD's 7mb each
1 x card reader to load the Exec.
3 x terminals
1 Train/line printer
The main unit weighed over a ton!!
Better suited on the bridge of the Enterprise, Spock would have been impressed!!
I upgraded to an Exidy Sorcerer later with CP/M and Concurrent Dos.
Yes, I'm an old fossil.:yep:

Reece is now another day older ... get back to work Reece :up:

Time in Canberra ACT, Australia

First computers I ever got to use were from the IBM System 360 Series, with the room-sized setups with TOS and punchcards. I recently watched the film "Hidden Numbers" about the early days of pioneer computing at NASA during the Project Mercury period and one of the scenes was a member of the human "Computer" staff secretly teaching herself how to program in Fortran on NASA's first digital IBM mainframes; I felt a bit of nostalgia as I watched her loading a Fortran program using punchcards...

But time and progress can humble anyone; in the mid 80s, I was tasked with getting a company's newly purchased IBM PCs up and usable. This was met with a very stiff resistance from the mainframe staff; like you, their IBM system ran on 128k of RAM and they were none to pleased to learn the PCs they derided had 640k RAM; they were even more dismayed when I found an "Above Board" mod increasing the total RAM to a whopping 2M. You're only 1+ years younger than me, so we've both seen the data world change by leaps and bounds...

I do, however, take umbrage at the suggestion people of our age group started out on the Abacus...
