Admiral Grace Hopper would be proud of all her language accomplished in the early days of computer science.

Take a look around. How many old farts like me do you see still working in IT? Besides the Cobol programmers?

Hey, I was one of the ol' cats that was running Type 1 cable with ol AMP Connects on them to make some of those old machines work...



I started doing that 26 years ago this month.....

  Let someone who has been retired 19 years.  You will miss a few friends.  But you won't miss the work or the bullshit you had to go through.  Getting to work in the winter time, working every day, and the ass hole bosses you have had to work for over the years.   :yes: :biggrin:

  But, once you get out you will wonder how you had the time to go to work.  Good luck and good health.  :salute:  :tiphat:  :island: :surf:

Thanks, Troll! I agree with most of that, but I haven't had any "ass hole bosses" for quite a few years.

I was one of them. But I also had two very good people that I had to answer to.

  You have been very lucky, not many people working for large corporations have had that opportunity.  :thumbsup:  :tiphat:
