RE: How Much the World Has Changed over the Last 60 Years: A 5-MB Hard Drive Being Loaded into an Aircraft, 1956
When I was working at first, the computer filled a whole room. programs were written in Fortran and loaded in via cards, which were converted to punched tape. The first chemical plant I worked on had to have a software engineer on hand to change code when we wanted to change a set point.
How times have changed.
Wow, you've had first-hand experience with those mainframes. It's amazing. Thank you for your contribution.
