[QUOTE="stinkfoot, post: 431782, member: 20555"] One of my first ever jobs was as an IBM mainframe operator back in 1979 for a large UK bookies. We input the data on punchcards and 12 inch reel to reel tapes. The disk drives were each the size of a washing machine and the disks the size of a curling stone. The whole kit and caboodle took up approximately the space of an average family home and probably had as much processing power as my watch today. Got fired for refusing to wear a suit and tie.......
