I remeber that
Many years ago (mid 80's) I was tasked with converting an accounts system from Apple II pascal to COBOL on an IBM PC - it even had 2 floppy drives so I didn't have to swap disks to compile. Luckily it was work experience whilst at college so only had to do it for a month or so.
Later I used ICL system 25 assembler, C on Unix and then for some reason Delphi.... the swings and the roundabouts.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
