Cool - I am starting to feel younger again...
Thanks Martin! -----Original Message----- From: martin.cooper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 09, 2002 4:17 PM To: struts-user Subject: RE: Struts & Persistence Whoa, this thread is making me feel sooo old! In my first job, I had to write the code on coding sheets, which were then given to a pool of drones who turned the code into punched cards. The boxes of cards would then go to the sysops, who would eventually find time to feed them into an ICL mainframe. Then I got back a code listing with all my compilation errors. Once I'd finally got the code to run, the usual early results were a two inch thick core dump. Talk about a long edit-compile-run cycle! But things improved when I went back to uni and got to play with a DEC-10 which actually had - gasp! - terminals. Anyone remember VTeco? BCPL on a 36-bit machine - those were the days. -- Martin Cooper > -----Original Message----- > From: Craig R.
