    Hi poindexter FORTRAN

    11:45pm for the deal and spend a couple hours drinking free
    coffee refills and doing homework.

    Sure it wasnt perving on the opposite sex?

    Unfortunately no - it was writing VAX assembly code. Our class had 30 people and a VAX with 8 serial ports. 4 of them connected to
    terminals the other 4 went into a port selector.

    What a bummer! &-{

    I started off in computers when they stood in the center of glassed-off
    rooms, with a ramp leading up to a raised floor. Only appointed people
    were allowed to enter the room, and Never With Food Or Drink.

    Getting to go in and see a system was awe-inspiring to college-aged me.

    Later, I took a job writing code on a midrange computer (only the size
    of 2 armoires...) where I was tasked with environmental maintenance
    (e.g. sweeping all of the paper chads out from under the line printer)
    and swapping tapes for backup. I later became the Lead Acolyte.

    I ascended to full priesthood when I was allowed to hit the Big Red
    Button that engaged the Halon system as a test.
