For those of you who were there it is interesting to note how much things have changed over the last forty years.

For the IBM System/32 we had a 6 line by 40 character screen and used SET and PUT statements in RPG II to display and get data.

Aside from the graphical element aren't smart phone screens eerily similar in size?
