I can still smell the 40 lbs. of green-bar paper and hot ink on my desk from a "core dump" after the system melted down. Ah, youth. I see this board is filled with "Old Farts" who used to wire their own boards. :0) My end of it was finding 50 Key Punch operators on a Friday night for a weekend project!

Heck, I had to toggle my "dump" info out via the front panel. <g> BTW, does anybody know what took the CBOE down earlier?

buck - I can still smell the 40 lbs. of green-bar paper and hot ink Or that high pitched whine when you accidentally use a form feed instead of a line feed in that output routine, and send it to the 11,000 LPM printer, and it shoots through a 3000 page box like a kid playing with toilet paper... <edit> Of course that caused everyone in the computer room to stop what they were doing and wait for you to show up, at which time they would whoop, cheer and give a standing ovation...
