I don't go that far back, although I've seen lots of stuff nobody remembers any more (VMS, Ultrix, TOPS20, UTS...at one time we were the only IBM site running JES3 in all of Europe). That's what you get for starting as a lowly system operator with what was AT&T (and later became Lucent Technologies and is now Alcatel-Lucent) in the mid-80's...

I still get flashbacks to the 'DD' JCL statement every time I use the Unix 'dd' command. Nobody understands why the syntax of that command is so weird except old mainframers like you and me ;-)
