Good Grief ! good memories wiring boards.(sometimes gotta leave that sequence check plug out)..I started on TAB machines...sort needles; zip strips;51 column half cards.worked my way through 1440's & 1401. Then 360's
Operators were GODS back then. GODS I TELL YA!
Took 2 years out for Uncle Sam. I come back from the service, they have a 370 and rows & rows of tape drives/diskdrives/printers. And they have CRT's.
I go from a GOD to a disk puller & a tape & paper hanger.
Now on the software side for the last 20 years. Still developing on CICS boxes. The mainframe just doesn't know it's suppose to be dead.
