I never met anybody who talked about the 2321 and didn't use the terms. ________________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> on behalf of Bill Ogden <og...@us.ibm.com> Sent: Saturday, October 30, 2021 11:41 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Reliable source for slang term "noodle picker"?
>From: Seymour J Metz <sme...@gmu.edu> >Subject: Reliable source for slang term "noodle picker"? >One of the wiki editors has removed mention of the term "noodle picker" from [[IBM 2321 Data Cell]] with the explanation >"Really remove unreferenced OR". Does anybody have a reliaible source for this usage that I can cite? I doubt there is an "official"source for this term, but it was a commonly used slang term at the time. (This comment is from an old old timer who actually programmed and used a noodle picker a long time ago. One thing we learned early: if possible, keep datasets open and avoid the need to access a VTOC often. ) Bill Ogden ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
