Your favorite language looks like this... 01 Input-Record. 05 Input-Key PIC X(05) COMP-X. 05 Input-Data PIC X(75). 01 Output-Record. 05 Output-Key PIC 9(13). 05 Output-Data PIC X(75). ... Move Input-Key to Output-Key. Move Input-Data to Output-Data. Write Output-Record.
Anyone remember Apple ][ >Catalog

Post that one on my other favorite programming site - gamedev.net. I guarantee you'll get a TON of people who think just like that.

Have joined there, strange how I used to go to gamedev for tutorials about coding my own games but never joined. See you there.

And you know I wish I was joking here. Jetlag and long nights are a killer. Anyone got any more?
