    I remember the company software ran on SCO Unix. Loved it. With a manual the size of the above box.

    Me too. I did that in High School in 70's. Had to time share to a mainframe to assemble and run the program. Technology sure has come a long, long way...

    Actually we wrote it using punch cards and once we debugged it we printed it to paper tape for permanent storage. God forbid you get those cards out of order. LOL Didn't have magnetic media yet back then except for large corporations and banks because of the expense.
