Comment Fond memories of the start of my career (Score 3, Insightful) 129

I started in the 70s on a 370/125 (like they also found) running DOS. btw, the Field Engineers were called Customer Engineers (CEs), and the hardware manuals were giant blue manuals that were kept in the computer room. I swear, those manuals had the most detailed descriptions on how to repair anything on the machine.

I will undo a mod. I drive a new SUV due to frequent snow storms, length of my commute, stuff I put in the back every week, and supervisors who say that my job requires me to be at work due to public safety sorta stuff. (correct but rules don't apply to management)
Yes, I'd love a Tesla or somesuch, but I don't think a Tesla will work with my commute in the winter.

oh yeah, probably my last car at my age, just got rid of a 10 year old car, and gave another to charity, an aged luxury car.

mpg 32 mpg at first, down to 25 now. I don't care about that. I just have to keep my foot off the gas (hard to do when doing my commute) sorta.

I grew up in that part of Ontario, Canada, about 300 miles west of Thunder Bay. It's mostly empty. Empty of anything except a few small towns. When I went to town in the winter I often did not turn off and lock the car when it was -40, because it's pointless. Where could they go? Anyone trying to head from Toronto westwards can be easily found. There are areas where the Trans-Canada highway is the only road basically, and they could just set a police car in one or two places and see all the traffic. Most roads north are dirt roads that go maybe 30 miles to nowhere. And south to the US border checkpoints. So why send the alerts to Thunder Bay people?
