In 1965 I got out of the army, married my wife, and found a job at IBM. Later in the year IBM sent me off to school on the IBM 360 mainframe computer, which in its day was as revolutionary as anything since. I fixed hardware for 18 years plus, and software for for several more before moving up to systems engineer, then IT consultant for 10 years after retiring from IBM. Mainframes have been very good to me.
P. S. my tagline is self-explanatory.
You no doubt have learned to conserve storage space, memory and code. I didn’t get into computers until the early 80s, before hard drives. It still amazes me that gigabytes are so cheap (they’re talking about petabytes now!).
Hi there fellow IBMer. There seem to be quite a number of us on FR.
