You are old enough to have programed in COBOL and FORTRAN. How 'bout them punch cards?

Hello. My grandfather is 89 (born 1935). I lived in central Jersey and spent many weekends at Skyland Park.
 
Don’t you love playing those big band swing charts?

The musicians of that era were by far the best!

Hello, Deland was a part of our west practice area when I was in the flight training program at Embry-Riddle :)

Woah...someone who knows COBOL, and the punched cards! I started with the cards as a 3rd-2nd shift computer operator at Taylor Instrument Co.in Rochester, NY, then became a programmer on the day shift for the rest of my time (don't remember) with them. Wound up the rest of my programming career doing mostly contracting assignments at Educational Testing Service in Princeton, NJ.
 
Welcome.

It would be cool if you typed all your messages with that Jersey accent, though.
