What! You don't fondly remember the joys of running a Stage 1 / Stage 2 sysgen? How you could be productive for HOURS by just sitting and monitoring their execution? Or doing an EDT gen by "throwing away" jobs and steps from the Stage 2? HCD makes that "so easy a caveman can do it" (sm). That was when "men were men" and grrls weren't allowed into the sanctified areas of DP. <GRIN> (please don't kill me, ladies!
