I did it with Fortran.
You be old! :)
computerized inventory ended a real way of life.
Every once in a while you get a messy and overstocked used book store.
But those interesting specialty shops...
I recall that we had a program that would play "Flight of the Bumblebee" by controlling the spindle of the tape reader.
I still have a small box of paper tapes ... somewhere...
Are all of us the type of people who never throw things away? How can you come up with a transistor or a diode when you need one if you throw things away?
Too much of my stuff is halfway to antique status.
Yeah, I’m one of those,
I really need that st506 controller, never know when I’ll have to get somebodies pics off a hard drive.
I think I have a paper tape around here somewhere.
It was fun, we where making it up as we went along.
I’m still working, it’s SSDs now.
