Disclosure:
I am not an IBM hater and never was. My first significant program ran on an IBM
1410 with a Tape Operating System (TOS) on the day President Kennedy was
assassinated. I then used an IBM 1620 II extensively.; migrated to an IBM 1800
and to an IBM 1130. All worked well for these early systems, but, I had to open
the door fairly often late at night for an IBM customer service man. At another
firm I worked with the then largest and newest IBM 360's. Overall, I had twice
teams come from the Almaden Labs to resolve issues with DASD's and the FORTRAN
H compiler (early seventies).
On the other hand I really got to hate PL/I, as I could interpret ABEND dumps
and colleagues came to my office with 1-2 feet high dumps that mostly by the
PL/I compiler going off on a tangent. This interfered with my work and I turned
to satellite telecommunications.
I only returned to programming as a hobby and as a retirement activity.
