I have programmed in Fortran on an IBM 360/95. This was in the late
1960's, using a subset of FORTRAN 66 (to start with, no logical IF
statements). The machine had 4.5MByte of memory (called 'core' in
those days), which was at the time awesomely huge. It shows how far
technology has gone that I have just purchased a 4MByte memory stick
for my wife's digital camera for under ?30 ($60).

--->Interesting. ?I don't recall you from the somewhat recent thread
regarding the age of c.l.f. respondents. ?At the time, I posited that
someone would come in higher than Terence. ?If you were programming in the
sixties you /could/ beat 73, a sopposed to just moving up the mean from
49.5.

One thing I found on arrival here in NM was an old IBM fortran manual. ?I
would claim, without knowing better than what LeRoy Wentz taught me--happy
71 pal--is that IBM was the pre-standard standard.

ps I think that the rectangle that confused usenet before the 30 was
euros.

No, it was a Pound sign

--->I meant to write pounds despite having written euros. I'm actually
surprised that pounds haven't gone the way of the mark, with the grief that
John Major was taking about it. I suppose he's now 2 p.m.'s different, so
it may be a non-issue now. BTW, can you see my pound: £ instead of a
rectangle?

63 and change is not enough to beat Terence but is sufficient to move the
average age to fifty. Thanks a lot, Dave.

I wouldn't miss a stack until a program simply didn't run. How the heck did
you get along without if?
