Rick, nice car, beautiful sunset.
When I took the Corvette into town for it's State Inspection, a couple of weeks ago, it was raining and it got filthy. I took advantage of the warm weather today to give her a bath.

Happy New Years 2019 to all!
Great looking C4, I love the style, but the rocker height and floor level make them hard for me getting out. I almost bought a C5 several years ago.
HAPPY NEW YEARS and good night.
Rip, you were real hands on. We got to punch our own cards but then had to pass them over, through a sort of serving hatch, to young ladies on the other side who were paid to feed them into a reader on our behalf - students were not even trusted to be in the same room as the computer !Eric - Assembler. With paper tape, mag tapes, and card punchers. I am not that old, I just found a niche at the right time.
The computers were Xerox Sigma III's and Xerox Sigma V's. They filled 1/4 of a building. Used for imagery analysis.
Just getting them "booted" took a magic dance, switches flipped, tape drives cleaned and tapes mounted, paper tape reader and paper in excellent working order, and the card deck better have not been messed with.
