Anyone else ever use an IBM 010?

Kid better get used to it.

In my brief stint as a recruiter, I met tons of people who were frustrated because their area of specialty was being rapidly replaced by a new language or application. The chaff is weeded out pretty quickly in that business.

When in high school I took a course where I learned RPGIII on a System 360... not really sure how I wound up there, I suspect I just didn't know better, if anyone had told how useless that "language" was I'm sure I wouldn't have wasted my time futzing with it. Kinda interesting in retrospect though!

Programing the 128K Mac using LightSpeed C was more fun :-D
