This reminds me of another useful lesson. Bright eyed and
bushytailed fresh from UWA, where we had been indoctrinated
in the virtues of structured pascal programming, I embarked on
migrating the Cyber76 program to Pascal on a CPM Northstar
personal computer...Not!

By the way, part of my job, in 1982, was also to replace a card
punch data entry setup and PDP 11 CSIRONET node. This was
after avoiding miniwaft at school and punch cards at University.
