Then sitting at one of those terminals along with a couple of hundred other students punching in numbers & letters on my blank cards I had stacked up. Then standing in line giving my cards to a bored undergrad working the computer printer, Then getting the printout & combing over every line trying to find that one mistake I made. I was in grade 11 in 1972-73 & decided one year of computer science was enough for me. Edited July 7, 2022 by SpeedFlex27 JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend became one of the Lead Programmers at Manitoba Hydro in the 80's. More than a few of my high school chums got into programming as well. If you graduated from the U of M or Red River you had a job somewhere. Then the world changed.

Pretty sure Jeff was being sarcastic about "no future in computers..." since our whole world is run by them, in various forms.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some memories spending many many hours in some basement lab with a machine that remoted into some a "supercomputer" cluster and anxiously watching it run an analysis we did with a Fortran based application for hours while we hoped we did it right SpeedFlex27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaconNBigBlue Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) I assume the CFL hasn't apologized for the botched TD catch by Banks even though it was clearly an interception with down by contact.

We gifted them 6 turnovers and all they could muster was 10 pts. It's not the first time the command center and reffing have screwed the Bombers, and it won't be the last.

Banks is a piece of crap. He's the reason why Hamilton couldn't beat the Bombers. Especially in 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
