WOW! My "real" job now is in public health so I automatically look at variances from the norms. It seems like a disproportional number of posters here were early computer nerds. Do you think there is some previously unknown link between computer nerdism and pond bossism?

P.S. FWIW Just looking at a punch card still gives me the jeebies. It reminds me of 2 hour waits to see if a simple program ran, card readers jamming, dropping an index card file box containing lots of unnumbered cards comprising a program not yet ran and now in some random order. That said, I still fondly remember the trash 80s, vic 20s, and top of the line Commodore 64s though. Sadly, I didn�t get rich on the PC revolution. Almost bought a bunch of Microsoft, Cisco Systems, etc. stock way back when; but bought a new pickup truck, big disk (used behind a tractor in farming), and bunch of cattle instead� Suffice to say, if I had actually done what I almost did, I would have been a millionaire several times over. In retrospect, it is amazing my picture isn�t in the dictionary beside the word stupid! I wonder what we�ll be saying we were stupid about 20 years ago in another 20 years?

Back to topic, I�d also be interested in a CD with all back Pond Boss articles.
