Delicious dinner tonight. We had lobster rolls at the "other" known destination for them in NYC. We spent much of the meal debating which were better. We briefly considered going to the other place for "dessert" before settling on a banana trifle of sorts with some of the chocolate from the hot fudge sundae.

I'm stuffed.

Uh-oh -- glad it wasn't a true 'emergency'!^

Mileage run. First three flights delayed. If this doesn't go I might as well go home.

But wait.. I hear them calling for volunteers.... Let's see how this works out.

I smell a win.

Well you did mention he has kids, gotta feed them somehow.

I can't remember just how many years I've been doing this stuff but do remember my original training gave some hotel points which was worth the deadly training. I wrote the first code on a VAX years ago creating one of the first primative DB's in the company. I also preceed the internet and worked with a group to create our first intranet so things like Gopher have meaning to me. I think all the documentation for many things only resides in my head at this point:rolleyes:

I know nothing of which you speak. I speak COBOL.

Ahhh, gopher. I still remember bringing up my first college onto the internet. With a whopping 19.2K link.

Gopher? Do you remember archie?

Fortunately I managed to stay away from most Vaxen. Though I had my fair share of IBM and Sperry mainframes.
