@Amused_Atheist I started with FORTRAN, but I remember seeing APL!!! So "efficient" that it was unreadable!@SamHarrisOrg -
@critterladychgo I started with Fortran using card punches on an Amdahl 470, and PDP-8 assembler with paper tape. We’ve come a long way. -
@Amused_Atheist Amdahl, YES! That was I guess my last mainframe, forget the model. I used cards earlier, paper tape in one class. Long way! -
@critterladychgo I used the Amdahl 470/v6. This photo is from a computer I used at work, then it was junked:pic.twitter.com/hVgDWEVBpG

@Amused_Atheist Wow! Weren't 370s the dawn of "virtual storage"? During 80s I was VM/CMS sys prog , occasionally modifying BAL source code! -
@critterladychgo Was system engineer working with Advanced Control System (ACS). 2.5 million lines of High Level Assembly Language (HLAL). -
@Amused_Atheist Isn't it a hell of a thing to realize, partway thru a career, that it's destined to be constantly becoming obsolete?

@SamHarrisOrg On a slightly related note, would computer science fundamentalists burn people for not using floppy disks? -
@Halfadichotomy@SamHarrisOrg ...more likely to burn people who are still using floppy disks (if there are any). -
@meljmcguire@SamHarrisOrg Or squash the infidels underneath the ENIAC.
