Did Lew retire?
About 17 years ago, I retired from my job.
But, I still hang around here (and other newsgroups) just to keep in touch.
Did you work for SoCalEdison in Rosemead in the 1970s?
Sorry, Percival, but no. I worked for a large Canadian bank for 30ish years,
starting in 1977 (I retired at an early age). The closest I've got to working
in the US was a couple of work trips to Memphis :-)
I came with a couple
UCLA professors, one a geochemist and the other an Organic Chemist. We talked
about a database of organics found in air, I think. I ended writing it in
FORTRAN on a PDP-11/05 in a prof's lab.
That must have been some feat. Database technology was in it's infancy then and,
while the PDP 11/05 was a capable beast, it was underpowered by today's standards.
Glad to see that we "well-experienced programmers" <grin> still keep in touch.
