- The only experience I had with a system/36 was a COBOL course I took. (I
- needed to fill up my schedule). Great combo there - an antique computer and
- a Confusing Outdated Boring Obfuscated Language. I was also trying
- to help the teacher make things easier by writing a program to
- run the cobol programs, so I was trying to use RPG (I think). The machine
- was horrid. My old 99/4a ran faster for most applications.
