Mark, I for one miss you at SHARE and the "debates" you and Jeff and the old crew used to have
Bill Munson Brown Brothers Harriman Sr. z/VM Systems Programmer 201-418-7588 President MVMUA http://www2.marist.edu/~mvmua/ Mark Cathcart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: The IBM z/VM Operating System <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU> 11/19/2008 01:29 PM Please respond to The IBM z/VM Operating System <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU> To IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU cc Subject Re: Our old buddy Mark Cathcart Well yes, to be fair there were loads of others, but none that apply here . I started life as a photographic junior(left 35-hours in the dark per wee k no fun) and yes, had a paper round, but much more interesting, I worked o n the last full size horse drawn barge on the Grand Union Canal(left too mu ch beer), worked as an offal cutter in the butchery dept of the local supermarket(left too bloody); in a hardware store as a warehouse boy(poor pay) and on a stall at Wembley Market in London(too cold and wet); my fir st real job was as a relational database for a market research company in 1974(ahh yes, sorting punch cards, select by row where column x equals an d column y greater than). All vastly useful experience to convince me that one day I wanted a real job indoors, sitting down, and here I am a Distinguished Engineer at IBM with no college degree and no patents, funny old world. Sadly I no longer get to use or work on VM, which is a real shame. But I'm doing my best to recreate the experience elsewhere. We now return you to your normal service and I'll go back into the woodwork. *************************** IMPORTANT NOTE***************************** The opinions expressed in this message and/or any attachments are those of the author and not necessarily those of Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., its subsidiaries and affiliates ("BBH").
