I have an old manual from 1961 for programming the IBM #### accounting
machine. I got started as a programmer with the IBM plug boards. I now have
several programmers working for me, and when the argument comes up , who the
real programmers are, to make a point I break out the manual, the manual was
printed before the window programmer's were born. Very effective. I still
work on some IBM BAL programs, as the new guys won't. We used to write
program's on an IBM 9020 for air traffic control.

There is a 9020 on display in the new Air and Space Museum near Dulles
Airport...
