lol I remember telling making my wife get her computer with DOS. I said, "B**S*** get DOS, that Windows crap will never catch on"

Yeah, I can do anything with DOS, Windows still confuses me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I'm old(er) and obsolete... I can't run either of them anymore.

I worked at one magazine that had a Word Processing program that was supposed to be good for writers so we all had to use it. When you booted the computer, DOS came up and when you opened the program it still looked like DOS. You had to type in fracking codes for everything -- tabs, fonts, style...

Come to think of it, it was a lot like trying to write in HTML.

I'm an AS400 guy.

Don't worry about what that is, it will only hurt your brane.
But I sleep well at nights and my system hasn't burped in 12 years.

I don't even remember what an outage is like.
It simply never happens.

And yeah, I don't have to do the dance of your fault, my fault, who's fault?
If something is wrong, it is your fault, and has nothing to do with the AS400 system.


But yeah, I know, you pups think I'm some sort of dinosaur.


The system I manage runs itself, tells me what's wrong, and tells me how to fix it.
I just sit back and watch.

LOL I'm not THAT old!!! My mother has worked in the computer industry for 40 years (first 20 or so at Sperry/Unisys). As a kid it was great playing games b/c any time I'd get stuck she'd go in and "fix" it for me!

I temped at Sperry Univac for almost a year when I was switching careers (around 1983). That's before Unisys existed. I learned my first word processing program there. The manual was written in Geekspeak but the guy who wrote the program was in our office. Whenever we had to learn anything new we'd just yell "Phil" -- great way to learn.
