Was that using a mainframe in Auckland about 1968 - 70. PDP11 as opposed to a Burroughs B3500. Were the original applications written using COBOL as the programming language?

Did you have to get the programs you wrote put on punched cards?
Tied up with a big rubber band or you can drop them on the train.

I remember those days.

If it is what I think then this may well be ASB

259789 2004-08-13 15:41:00 Thats good news thanks.
But is it the version everyone is currently downloading? because according to the MS XP Support Group there are massive problems with it, so Im not going near it until I hear nice things from PF1.
Will there be an analysis in Sept Issue?

Why is MS so keen to get everyone using it? Ive never been bombarded with so many messages to update from so many sites for earlier versions?

Microsoft is keen to get everyone to use it because they came under so much fire over the blaster and sasser worms and their "automatic" updating system etc. and how certain updates can help against worms but very few people had actually updated their machines. Since then Microsoft have been quite proactive at getting their updates out, and publicising the fact that the updates are there and that they recommend you download them for the safety and security of your computer.
