I thought so...I used to be a SYS OP and batch code guy on mainframes...long time ago....just as LAN and desktop and Windoz was version 1

what I remember is how when one entered the computer room through an airlock, everyone whispered automatically. Like a church.

Coo, you're giving your age away now, old son..... :lol: I'm no spring chicken any more, but I wasn't even out of nappies when the S/360's came out! I started secondary school the year the S/370s were introduced...

It was a feature of living in Rolls Royce neighbourhood where many of the engineering companies produced tools and parts for cutting edge technology so used cutting edge tools.
My first real job was as a computer operator for a machine tool producer and I often saw plans that really should have been restricted, but it obviously is difficult when you are designing the machines to make the parts to make the secret machines - if you follow that chain.
