I wasn't a snipe anyway. My job was above the main deck. So was Richard's. I really tried to learn as many jobs on the ship as I could and there are a lot of things going on there. (Welding, machine shop, small boats and the whole ordinance department). That is where the CG has it all over the Navy. They want you to know more than one job. Think of it is being a non-union shop. |

Or at least think it through before he types. |

Caught again, eh? -- What? Are you on drugs? I wrote the user manual for the software for the weather program, and no, I'm not a weather expert. The job was to take the procedures to run the software, how and where to enter variables, and how to get the software to puke out answers. It took a month of interviews and training for me to begin to write the instructions in simple English that could easily be used in China by English speaking techs and terminal operators who could then show Chinese speaking operators how to participate. Surely with all your good job skills and army training, you could have done something similar, eh? |

I was still in kollidge pursuing my B.A. I am just using your slur and exploring it. I was on that ship "shoveling coal" in 65. By the time you were writing your "coolie see, coolie do" book I was pretty deep in the computer business, no matter when that was if it was before 96. There is a good chance we may have been in Bethesda at the same time. Who were you working for there? I only know of a few Control Data customers and I never even heard about a Burroughs customer there. IBM had a little competition in the peripheral business but we pretty much had the mainframe business locked up in Montgomery County |
