I work for a consulting company here in Chicago, IL. My current project involves mostly Java which makes my life a whole lot easier since I can use my Linux laptop for the development. I use JBuilder Foundation as the ide/debugger. My previous project involved C++ and Perl. The fun part was that the client for running they .com business on Linux servers so again, I was able to use instead of Windows.
Let's me recall..... I started my computer training at the Barnes School of Business in Denver, CO, in 1959. The IBM 402 tabulator was about 4'X4'X7' and weighed several tons, which is where the term 'heavy iron' came from. They were programmed by jumping plugs with cables. Later, in graduate school in 1967, I learned Fortran 64 on a CDC 6600, and
Oh yeah, I remember the big iron, the IBM 360 and the CDC Cybers. I worked on the CDC for about 6 years, all in Fortran and Compass.
later a Honeywell 200. KSR-33 keyboards were state of the art. My interests switched to PCs when I purchased the first AppleII+ sold in the state of Nebraska in 1978. Since that time, I have used Apple BASIC, Forth, Pilot, Prolog, Pascal, REV. & ADV. REV., COBOL, C, PB, VB, VFP and some minor languages during the 15 years I had my own consulting business, which I retired in 1995.
My first PC was an Atari 800, then came the first of a long chain of IBM compatibles. Currently I have 3 desktops and 2 laptops. Luckily I have enough room for all of them. -- Avi Schwartz Get a Life avi@CFFtechnologies.com Get Linux -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
