Re: Re: How do you use unix?Wild. I never did punch cards. But in high school we had to enter our code RPG II/COBOL onto 8-inch disks , then the disks were loaded into our IBM System 34 or something similar. And the jobs were ran in batch as you expressed. Wow I remember the waiting, like you said to see if it was going to run or not.

I've been doing this a long time, and I'm still learning stuff on a daily
basis.
I started my IT carrer since HS. (1980)
Cut my teeth on our timesharing system using a 300baud dialup connection from Kearny NJ to Perth Amboy NJ.
On Tue and Wed a group of us (5) went to the VoTech in Jersey City NJ and we spent 4 hours learning RPG II on punched cards and 8 1/2 inch floppies.
On Tuesday, we prgrammed our cards and they were stored in a box. On Thursday, we would have our print outs waiting for us, hoping the program didn't bomb and we had to spend the time manually debugging errors with each other.
I still have one of the 5 disc CDI discpacks given to me as a momento and a floppy with nothing on the label save for the name of my IBM AS/400 name : "AMPLIBR". We all named our libraries (LIBR) prefixed with our initials.

I worked at university data center in the 80s and we used the 80 punch cards for student data storage. It was loud and slow.
I started off with Commodore CBM 4032s (similar to a PET) with a
cassette drive in high school, but our teacher brought in an old punch
card data processing system for us all to play with, enter a job on
punch cards and see it run.
We wondered why, he asked us to trust him. Now, I get to say, "When I
started out on Punched Cards..." :)
Smart man, he was.

4032s /were/ PETs. The name change was a marketing move to appeal to
the business market, same strategy Tandy used for their TRS-80 Model
III onward.

I did all of my BBSing in the 90s with one of these or a Model M.
I started splurging on keyboards, monitors and mice at work - those are relatively cheap and they're what people's impressions of PCs are mostly based on. Although, I haven't seen a desktop PC in any of my company's offices... All laptops.
Theater was big in my school, and it's big in my daughter's school -
we've seen some really impressive performances. The kids do all the backstage work, too. I've been trying to steer her to theater since all
of my theater friends in high school ended up being the cool adults, and
are still close many years later.
never heard someone call it a keeb.
anyways, i like the reddragon brand. my old one broke because i spilled soda on it. this is the one i have now. very clicky.

i have to have volume control on my keyboards. I don't use macros. I also like having a lit keyboard.
Yeah, my new gig is mostly laptops which i've never had before. it's nice to grab your computer for a meeting, come back to your desk, dock and work on full size stuff.

Red Dragons are GREAT, quality products, not terribly expensive, can
still modify them a bit if you desire, but great out of the box.
LED keebs are fun. LED lighting these days is getting crazy if you're
into the whole "i spend way too much money on my pc".
to try out some other stuff)
i have a K552 in white with a set of Akko switches (some "blue"-ish
variant that they stopped making) and original NES color themed
key caps
thankfully (mostly for my wallet) this put me way past the quality
level i'd ever really care about personally.
I feel like the laptop
screen is actually a little small to read easily, so I've been using the external ultrawide monitor.

That's old age gently knocking... just before it smashes through the door and gives you a turbo wedgie :)
I never needed glasses at all until about 40, I've only had them a few years and I seem to have speedrun from a low prescription "just to help" to needing varifocals and still half the time not being able to see what I'm looking at.
