Not sure where you heard it as I never have before. I made that up back in 1982-83.

Raven,
That is funny. You know how it is knwing people from this site or that site....you naturely put an image with the name......I can honestly say I had NO clue you were 55. I was thinking you were in your early 30's. LOL.

You know that makes you older than computers. How did you get yourself in to all this mess?

LOL! Yeah, his first one had tubes and punch cards Smile

I can say that because the first one I was around used punch cards too.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry ROTFL

My first mainframe was an IBM Mod 20. 16meg of RAM (That's right). It was about 8 or 9 feet long. 80 column punched cards. RPG I was the language d'jour. I could go on and on with the history lessons, but llok it up in your Funk'n Wiggle Laughing
