Twenty seven years ago, the number one hit tune was You Shook Me All Night Long - AC-DC . Developing my RPG programs will not be completed without the piped-in music like Another One Bites the Dust - Queen, Fame - Irene Cara, The Rose - Better Midler, Lady - Kenny Rogers.

Previous years to that, the most popular songs were My Sharona - The Knack, Ring My Bell - Anita Ward, Honesty - Billy Joel, Reunited - Peaches & Herb. Top 1,2,3 were London Calling - The Clash, Dance the Night Away - Van Halen, and Highway to Hell - AC/DC, respectively.

Today, those songs turned to oldies but definitely goldies.


In 1980, I attended a month long S/34 courses at IBM Philippines at Paseo de Roxas. These courses are GS Systems Analysis Techniques, S/34 Systems Design and Implementation, S/34 Workstation Coding, and S/34 Workstation Programming Workshop. The course was offered for P8000 inclusive of 2 snacks, lunch, materials and lab exercises.




Manuals were thick and that was the only thing
that I remembered about the course. I even brought with me some of the manuals to Brunei hoping that it maybe of use.

Now, with Java, OSS, and new IBM SW technologies, the S/34 is certainly obsolete. High tech then was made to "Faded Glories".


And forgotten, but not in my blog. Never.
