J...I've been involved with computers since 1968. I was the first Systems Operator for IBM in their datacenter where we ran a QuickTran (Fortran) and QuickText (a word processing program) that allowed users to run off our 360 mainframe from their remote locations. I worked 3rd shift while completing college.....

I learned how to program on an IBM360 at University of Michigan that was in a room operated by 3 to 4 people. I typed the program commands on punch cards on a special "typewriter" and then submitted the stack of cards to one of the operators. I'd wait, usually 3 hours for the print out of results of the run. I'd then have to go through the cards and correct those that created a bad command line, take the stack of cards and resubmit them for another try.....

I learned to write Fortran at University on an ICL/1900 using punched cards. Being students, our favourite game was to put the cards through the punched cards machine multiple times, working out what to type each time to make the holes spell out words. I think I still have one I made somewhere that reads:

Matthew,

Welcome to TenForums.

It's really worth making time to browse through the Tutorial index - there's a shortcut to it at the top of every page.

- At the foot of the Tutorial index is a shortcut to download it as a spreadsheet.
- I download a new copy each month.
- By downloading it as a spreadsheet I can benefit from Excel's excellent filtering capabilities when I search for topics of interest.

- Tutorials are also listed by category at Tutorials - there's also a shortcut to that at the top of every page.
- Both tutorial lists are searchable.
- You can also search for TenForumsTutorials in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com/tutorials after your search term. For example,
taskbar toolbars site:tenforums.com/tutorials

You can search TenForums using the search box in the top-right corner of all TenForums webpages or using Advanced Search - TenForums
- You can also search TenForums threads in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com after your search term. For example,
Search for drivers by HardwareID site:tenforums.com
- [This is what the search box in the top-right corner of TenForums webpages does automatically]


I don't know if you've also joined ElevenForum.


All the best,
Denis
