I started in 1970 with COBOL on IBM but also wrote the the odd program in FORTRAN and Assembler. Then moved to mini computers Nixdorf in BASIC. Went on to POS in BASIC writing systems for Laura Ashley, curry’s and toys r us. Moved away from programming to support and install SAP but occasionally wrote programs in ABAP.

We are talking Greek to most of our friends on here. I worked for Deloittes for a while but it really wasn’t me. In his first job my husband programmed Phillips machines but he was a terrible programmer. When he moved to COBOL he would bring his programs home and I would correct them. He moved on to pre sales.

Greek?? !!
It could be Klingon for all I know
You and Nick are obviously very clever people.
I think I’m good because I can order a repeat prescription on line 
Love and hugs

We are just people who think in a weird way. I can learn computer languages but not foreign languages. As a woman doing this in the 70’s I was a bit of a trail blazer.

We are not alone on here.
I know that when I ask for a hand then many will appear.
I’m slipping a little bit so hands would be helpful

I can’t even do that.
Perhaps you can give me a few tips!
Mind you, the number of times the surgery posts messages that the system is not working I don’t know if I should bother xx

I feel out of the swamp today as have been distracted by work, so both hands free for you @Liro or anyone else in need of a pull up.
No idea about programming or coding, just stare at a laptop screen for 7.5 hours a day…

I know; me too. It was a year for me last Sunday, which was hard. It’s like having the same tooth pulled out over and over. Only more painful. Hope you feel better at the weekend. xx

So, so sorry about your cat Rose….
He has obviously had the best life he could have asked for with you………and filled with love. Take comfort in that…I hope his time left with you will be peaceful and you must always remember you have done the best thing for him when that day comes.
It’s so hard to bear…especially on your own……I’m thinking of you and sending love and hugs to you and your cat. Xxxx Lisa

So sorry about your cat Rose. You are giving Tony all the love and caring you can. Hope he continues without pain.
Has anyone got a block and tackle? I’m not lightweight and I am stuck frum in the swamp. Really missing my beloved and cant bear the thought of him not being with me. I hate it when people say the second year is worse. It’s scary for those of us struggling with the first year. I hate feeling like this. Thanks Ron for giving a more positive view.
