Why is it that each and EVERY time you make changes to this system it takes weeks to make it work again. Currently I cannot download anything. The Save As... function no longer works and if I want to get another article from the downloads page (click on article on right side of page) all I get is another inoperable download page. If you cannot QA simple functions before you put them in production let me know and I will do it for you. This is a great site - Stop ruining it!!! A Chapman (AECAEC)

I did not know that insects had sports teams! Great news!! Did anyone start a Bacteria sports team yet? I would bet on the Flu team - They get you everytime. ;)

Used it (LogMeIn) for some time. Best remote access app. I have seen. I use it to debug my clients machines from my home office. Had little or no problems wit it. Recommended. Security may be a problem. Also generally requires admin capability and if client requires a reboot someone needs to be at machine. All in all damm good. ;P

Gods. Cold - Try Korea in Winter (-35F wind chill factor included) with no winter closes and someone trying (hard) to kill you. However Terror does tend to keep one warm.

Correct The Comp-5 was i believe setup to handle the big-endian, little-endian problem. And COBOL is still better then many of the more advanced languages for many activities. Especially those that do batch processing. Admitably not good for interaction "GUI" processes. COBOL and FORTRAN did not survive this long and still constiture over 50% of operational systems by not being GOOD at what they do. New colorable clothes are not neccesarily better then older ones. Primitive people are always attracted to pretty baubles. Anyone want to exchange the latest and greatest hardware for some pretty beads i have.

Nice View of the LEO. My First Machine (beyound the accounting machines) was the Wrirlwind I per 1960. My First real Job was on it's child The Mighty AN/FSQ-7 (Sage) Then its child the AN/FSQ-32A The only computer that had an official certified plumber (it was water cooled) on the IBM maintenance roster. Calling them in on the weekends was a trial. They would sihg songs from the IBM Song Book. Ugh! Yes the IBM Song Book - I still have a copy. If you want to see it Google for it. :) :)

The girl chromosome always has a headache.

YES!!!! That's telling them. Also we did it all in less then 4KB of memory and no disks only cards and tape. GB's Ha! Weenies......

I agree to some extent, but thats why the latest languages put out so many bugs

53!!!! I am 72 and I worked on the Commercial Translator before it became COBOL. I love COBOL. A sensible, stable language / system, not these fly by night fad languages like C++ and the like. I bet no one here has even programmed in octal or used plugboards. You young wipper snappers just don't know what real codeing is like. I worked on relay machines. Now that was codeing. Sish!!! You people have no feeling for the arts. Or History However as stated I too need dinaro so i use the pardon the expression "Modern langages". Oh by the way at last count the largest number of operational lines of code were COBOL and FORTRAN, with C and assembler next. Java, CPP and the others constitute only a small percentage of the operational work done. Note: Enbedded applications (assembler and C) constitute a much larger group. Think aircraft, ships, toasters etc. Good luck Youngsters

It's also infinite. I.E. Unending I.I.E You cannot compute an end. Sloppy Math :doh:
