I remember the first time that one of the BIG banks in SA upgraded from a 16 bit OS to a 32 bit OS in the Mini Computer (Data General's AOS -> AOS/VS) environment. A month later we upgraded the memory to a whole 1 Megabyte. All the Bank Execs were there to see this event because the mainframe was still processing on 512K.
I also remember programming in Fortran 4 using overlays to address more than the limitation in the memory of the 16bit systems.
Used to work from 7:00 am untill 23:00 and then duck into Hillbrow for a jol.
Now I don't even think I can code to save my life anymore, but I can tell you how to make your ITC more efficient and effective and how to improve your processes using ITIL, CobiT or CMM/it.
I Remember Fidonet and downloading utilities from Simtel so that I could Beta Test IBM OS/2 v 2.0 (don't think it was commercially released OS/2 2.1 was the official release)
Man those were the days.
