But I learned. Mag tapes-at my last job, at a data processing company, some of our clients were using mainframes and needed their data put on tape when we were done with it. They came in pretty colors including blue and green. It used 96 column cards and-guess what?!-I have a stack of them around here somewhere. Punched cards-the furniture store where I worked doing data entry while in college was, at that time, using IBM System/3 mainframes, and I worked on a Decision Data 9610 keypunch machine. Your post brought back some memories for me: I'm glad my pic helped transport you down memory lane for a bit. What a great story, oshun! Thanks for sharing. I hope you and yours have a very nice holiday season. The best ACSII picture program ever written! As the picture passed through each CRD the keyboards would crazily flash red and ring madly as Santa delivered his happy holiday message and all of us controllers who were stuck working the Christmas Eve midnight shift would get a smile that lasted until we got home at 6am Christmas morning. Santa's reindeer would lead him and his sleigh along the four rows of CRD's from the start of row one down to the end, across the aisle to row two, up row two, around the corner and down row three, and finally up row four. Only once a year just before midnight on Xmas Eve Night the program would run. The whole picture that was about three times as wide as the CRD's. One of the old programmers had, in the early 70's, programmed an ASCII picture of Santa's sleigh and reindeer with a floating "Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas" above Santa's head. These were 2nd generation magnetic core memory machines! Software was loaded via punched paper-tape and then stored on those old reel-to-reel four-foot tall monsters you see in old 70's movies and a "reboot" took about 2 hours. The "host" computer was an IBM 9020 which actually was four IBM 360's running together. It would ring and flash red whenever a computer sent message arrived at your CRD. Each of the keyboards had a message bell in the keyboard under a red lighted MESSAGE button. The screen was text only monochrome green and a unusual format - portrait orientation and about 9 inches tall by 5 inches wide. Each scope had an associated text message and computer input screen (acronym CRD for Computer Readout Device - we called them crud's) attached to a keyboard next to the radar scope. In the early 80's I worked in a Air Traffic facility with about 50 RADAR scopes arraigned along two aisles with the scopes facing each other across the aisles. Re: Some old 'Merry Christmas' ASCII art I didĬute! Caused a flashback for me - kinda a long tale.
