Powerhouse and my personallity disorder.

[Deskin, Bob]

Hey, I figure I can still code a mean COBOL program. By the way, it
should be spelled in uppercase since it's an acronym for COmmon Business
Oriented Language. And I'm not THAT old. Mind you, I never learned how
to touch type or keyboard as it's called now. My son puts me to shame.
On the other hand, I made fewer mistakes with those punched cards :-)

ARGGGGG COBOL. Haven't used that since my first year
of professional programming....back in 1986.

As for your typing teacher...mine looked like an old battle-axe. Hence I
took auto mechanics instead. Maybe if yours was at my school I would
have taken it...definately would have learned to type without looking at
the keys...watching her instead.

I thought all the Cobol programmers died of with the Dinosaurs....lol
