| 129713 | 2003-03-23 12:08:00 | Yes... But you had to keep the programs down to about 12 K or they wouldn't compile. Wrapping the punched cards VERY carefully so you wouldn't spread the cards all over the place if you dropped them. Being able to read EBCIDIC!!! :) |

There is nothing wrong with my help if you go to google and type in "killing cockroaches" my web site comes in as number 5 out of 15300 Just think what I could do if I got stuck in and offered help on linux. |
