Amen to that. The amount of sheer jerking about you have to do
to keep up with the latest is awesome. I got a lot more accomplished when it was just me, a text editor and a compiler. System 34 etc were not
too bad - OTOH, using MVS was kind of like kicking a dead
whale down the beach. I must admit, I kind of liked 'programming' in
RPG, once you memorized the flowchart, that is :-)
