    Info Greeting from a New Member

    Hello

    I just wanted to say hello form very cold and snow covered Colorado Springs, CO ( Yes, we are in the middle of a two day storm ).

    I have been a programmer for over 30 years starting with Fortran4 in a high school lab back in 1966, with a paper tape keypunch machine using a 300baud modem connected to the county mainframe.

    You would first key in your program on a device that looked like an old ibm selectric typewriter, which would print out on a roll of 12 inch wide paper for you to read, and would also punch out on a paper tape that would then be feed into the paper tape reader when you were ready to run the program.

    We have come a long way.

    welcome mate
    You know he grew up as a little shitspark from the old shitflint and then he turned into a shitbonfire and driven by the winds of his monumental ignorance he turned into a raging shitfirestorm. If I get to be married to Barb I'll have total control of Sunnyvale and then I can unleash the shitnami tidal wave that will engulf Ricky and extinguish his shitflames forever. And with any luck he'll drown in the undershit of that wave. Shitwaves.
