Happy Birthday Jim.
Either my math is bad or 1963-2014 is more than 27???
I retired from Bank of America after 27 years. That was kind of a ■■■■■ when pay increases were slow.
Happy Birthday Jim,
and this is also true for younger people!
I wish you a great day.

Nope, that sounds about right. I’m 1967 to 2014 which makes me about 31.
Can’t wait to start working on that government tax calculation software next week. I feel my talents are now finally being recognised…
Jim, Happy Birthday to you!
A very Happy Birthday, Jim.
I started on an IBM 360/40 and we ran an emulation program so we could still run some old 1620 programs - about the same machine as as the 1401. Seems regardless of what I am coding in, I still seem the think in COBOL…
Only worked on 1401 about 3 years. We could never could get cobol to work. We could compile parts of the source but if we put it all together the compile would crap out. Hated cobol, I used AutoCoder. What use to kill me was the periods. I guess that like the semicolon in other languages
Happy birthday Jim.
Nice to see you older programmers still programming regardless of whether it is your job or not. I presume you do this for fun Jim. I love programming and I want to keep going for a long while.
I think I hated COBOL almost as much as I hated APL.
As for me, I use programming to keep my brain cells from getting too bored. After all, if we didn’t have fun coding we shouldn’t be doing it. Right? Of course, right! Now if those brain cells could only come up with an idea of a new program to write…
