[Year 12 IPM] Who will still be here in ten years time?

[Roland Gesthuizen]

hahahah sure do!

I still have a stack of my old Fortran and Pascal punch cards and 
remember using the noisy ASR 33 teletype terminal that clattered and 
clunked like something out of the dark ages. Later I was given blessed 
use the VT100 and VT200 terminals to access the same Swinburne PDP-11 
computer system (I think the same model used by George Lucas for his 
first StarWars flick)

Regards Roland
