Nope...but they did lay some of the foundation for where we are and where we're going...unbelievably, some of the code and data structures from nearly 40 years ago are still out there chuggin' away :-)
Distributed Processing/minicomputers was a concept that rolled right on into PCs.

Yeah...I guess...the bad old days when we were given source for MPE to write UT200 and OMNISPOOLER and INFONET...and the user's group was quite active and folks wrote for SuperGroup Association :-) And computers just lived at each State Farm office and Volkswagen dealers and worldwide DuPont...

Yeah, those where the days when computers did very little and they all lived in computer rooms.
No Internet, no email, no WWW, no CD/DVD, no HP3000-L, etc.
Those days?

Just bought and was reviewing a "Pocket" consultant for the new Windows
7 (all 680 pages). It makes me wish again for the days on a Series II (yellow card 8 1/2 x 11) or III (green card - same size) or even IV (little blue book of about 30 pages), when the "Pocket" Guide would actually fit in your pocket.
Those were the days.
