 Ga> I've been doing this a long time, and I'm still learning stuff on a
 Ga> 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 Tueand 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 outswaiting 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.

Ahhhhh...memories...

I don't miss the  X-LOCKED  error messages...

.... was it an AS/400 or a 3270? Hmmmmmmmm...
