FORTRAN anyone?

[Shocker-maniac]

Connar Fortran. He's that transfer from KU, right?

I'm confident that we can trust HCGM to determine whether or not he is a good fit for the program.

Winner, Winner. Chicken dinner!

Don't forget your compiler cards $) *) and for gawds sake don't drop your stack of punch cards! Whaddya mean I had an infinite loop?

[SB Shock]

Fortran is still alive and kicking for large scale weather and climate models....unfortunately.

I used to do computer graphics with my fortran programing.... Now I just stick to Matlab. But if you know MATLAB, it like a 2nd cousin kissin cousin from arkansas equivalent to fortran

Did you take Advanced Abacus too, you old timer? :)

[kcshocker11]

No, but in my calc classes we had guys that were using slide rules

I am so glad I came along after punch cards! A friend and co-worker of mine had to deal with them at WSU in the early 80s, I think. But I did my Assembler there on terminals the size of a mini fridge! And that was in '91!

Ah Assembler, did that too, on a Vax. I also did RPG 11 & 111. I was one of the first people to use C in KC. The debuggers really didnt work. What a pain in the ass. Now C++, C# etc seems so easy compared to that

My first 10-15 years of real-world programming (and most of my schooling) was primarily on VAX and Alpha systems running VMS. Good times. I miss VMS.
