        @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!

        @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).

        @SamHarrisOrg I also hate Ruby, but I would never. I think you're a bit off on this one Sam. Perhaps someone told him the WSDL is the docs.
