*** Quoting Maurice Kinal from a message to Carol Shenkenberger ***

MK> Hey Carol!

 CS> Maurice, we didnt let the users feed in their own punch cards.
 CS> We did it. Yes, I come from that era.

MK> We were expected to know how to do it for ourselves.  I quit after
MK> the first day and swore then I would have nothing to do with
MK> computers ever again.  Lived up to that for over a decade and then

Hehe it's not hard.  Flip and flangle then feed (and hope for the best).

MK> got a job where I was expected to know everything there was to know
MK> about VAX/VMS.  Talk about stress.  Anyhow no punch cards then and
MK> I learned really fast.  Whew!!!

Hehehe been there, done things like that.  Our VAX was mostly a FEP so
didnt ¨have to do much with it.

 CS> ;-)  Just TG and how it works.  I ignore it.

MK> I would have been fired for less.  No lossy data ... or else!!!
MK> I think I got it now.  This one should be lossless.  Always seems
MK> a Unixie guy has to look after others shortcomings eh?  ;-)

Hehe well, I'm not about to give up TG right now.  Afterall, it's been
running ¨on autopilot now for 8.5 months without a hitch!
