In the early 1970's I worked as a cemetery groundskeeper for a year and used to install grave markers. The deluxe ones had a built-in vase that was stored in the marker but could be removed and turned upright to place flowers. They were more difficult to install.

Getting back on track, I think I'll pass on McD's new burger.

Fuck you Ronald! You're not fooling me again.

Like a lot of you guys, I cut my teeth on FORTRAN using punch cards. Later, I got pretty proficient with VAX/VMS. Both are pretty useless now.

Nobody punches cards any more, but FORTRAN is still alive and kicking.

Are you familiar with simh? It is an open source emulator for various micro and mini computers from days gone by (including the vax and various PDPs). Hankering to run VMS on your computer? Simh lets you do that.

Yeah, Fortran is still very much in use in science. Our computational chemist guys use it all the time. It is popular for massive number crunching type work.

True, but most of my number crunching these days is easily handled by Matlab or Excel. Obviously, I do minimal crunching.

How many aero-space peeps do we have on this forum? Why haven't you guys gotten together to start up your own effects or amp company yet?

Astronomical tone at astronomical prices!

Crap, Swart beat us to it.

We still had IBM card readers in Mission Control in the late 80's.

My first was a ModComp mainframe. It had 64K of RAM! We used it to record up to 256 channels of data, specifically manned test chamber data in the Crew Systems Lab (JSC Bldg. 7 for NASA junkies)

Very cool. You know, there are other "smaller" Nasa facilities people don't know about unless they've been there.

Here is the NASA Michoud (pronounced mee-shood) in New Orleans, south of the city, close to Chalmette, LA. It's where the SSET (external tank) was built, amongst other projects. I was there for the first time last week, as I'm now responsible for their cal labs' QA program. It's huuuuge inside, everyone uses bicycles to get around

I imagine everyone at the ER had a good laugh over this one.
