1tb. I used to write computer programs in 16kb. We thought all our ships had come in when it went up to 28k. Before the internet using the telephone lines to transfer programs. You had a device that you put that phone handset in and attached to the computer. Oh boy was it slow. Debugging programs by going through the code line by line on paper. Errors were shown in a hexadecimal code. I could add and subtract faster in hex than I could in decimal. Those were the days.

I agree, Rose.
I am not looking for another love. Just a peaceful life, hopefully with some joy in it.

Hello everyone,
I am feeling a bit lost, bewildered and very sad.
I want to thank you for your kind and caring messages.
It means so very much that I can tell you all what has happened and know you care and understand.
Although we have never met in person, I look upon you as friends.
We truly have a bond, a very, very sad one I know, if you get what I mean.
Take care everyone and thank you so much.
Sending a big hug and lots of love,
Rose xx
Tony has had numerous different pouches of cat food served for his delectation.
He has tasted each one and eaten more of some than others.
He has also had a bit of sliced ham and cheese.
He LOVES cheese!
I have had a couple of short cuddles.
I am so glad I brought him home

Cats do have their own tastes. One of ours liked cream of tomato soup, one like spaghetti bolognese and one weirdly like crisps.

I had one that nicked A whole panful of fried mushrooms (a kilo when raw). He stumbled around on a high for the rest of the day.
He jumped up on the worktop and managed to nudge aside the pan lid.

Our first one loved chocolate Swiss roll but only from a local bakery.
Didn’t touch others.
We found out when I was passing a slice to my husband and the cat swatted it out of my hand.
He wasn’t fussy about any other food, would eat anything xx

I’ve always found that they let you know when they are ready; something in the way they look at you. If he’s still eating and affectionate, it’s not his time quite yet. Just enjoy his company for now. xx

I just love the way we all support each other here.
We’re all going through our own personal hell.
But everyone still looks out for everyone else.
Always there for each other
And it means a lot
Love and hugs

Hi Pudding,
I think you started programming a few years earlier than I.
-
My first computer - ZX Spectrum (shortly after it was available in the UK)
-
My second computer - Philips P2000C - 15 kg
With a P2093 CoPower expansion card hosting an Intel 8088 processor -
My third computer - Olivetti Personal Computer M24 - I loved it
Programmed IBM Sytem/36 and later IBM AS/400 - programming in RPG
Also leaned Assembler and Cobol.
Nick
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.
