Anniversary

Today was the 30th anniversary of my entry into what was then known as D.P. (Data Processing). I worked with punch cards, programming in COBOL. The Mainframe, an IBM 370/125 probably had less processing power than some phones now, and certainly considerably less than the laptop I am using to write this. As Susan commented: “You’ve come a long way, baby!”

Remember the size of the old calculators or the old dos programs
 
And all the calculators had were the 4 basic functions! I remember the awe in which I regarded the first scientific calculator I saw. Adjusting for inflation, I think you can get a 32" HDTV for less than that thing cost!
 
Oh dears, you all just need some more RAM! Random Access Memory ... nice stuff, if you think about it. Susan
