I'm Ron.
I live in Sacramento, near Bradshaw and Old Placerville. I am retired, at least for now.
I hope I don't have to go back to work. When I was working I was a helpdesk worker for
several companies and for the last 10 years I worked in one of the bigger Data Centers
here in SAC.
I use Kubuntu by the way. : ^ )
Hobbies: Python and C programming, Running Emulators for OLD computers. Have had a
working mainframe emulator working but don't right now.
Hi Ron,
Well, the mailing list server runs out of my "data center" in my office.
I guess the nice thing about those mainframes is that they run Java too?
You must have some interesting stories about EBCDIC? Or, does it just
come par for the course?
