I clearly don't like Petco or Pet smart or any online livestock retailer with the exception of those who grow their own or breed. I have watched the demise of local business for to long and hope the new tax laws will give the local stores a new chance to thrive. That said I am not holding my breath! Mass retail and livestock is such a mistake!

I used to run one of these overnight for Eastern American Energy. It ran accounting databases for oil and gas lease royalties. I had to feed the printers and sling 1/2 inch tape reels.

No punch cards
100s of reels of magnetic tape every night. I did database backups and loaded programs for production which is what the people that worked in the daytime were called.
I did this working 6 days a week at night and went to school during the day. It ran a version of Unix called Ultimate in 3 virtual machines.

Man I could only imagine how crazy that must have been. I would imagine that the reels were fairly sensitive. The first job I had in IT they used physical backup tapes. Switched daily. Now we have our backups run every 15 minutes stored on a server. Even the servers can be launched on a virtual machine as a contingency plan to prevent down time.No punch cards

Are you telling me I don’t have to use carbon paper anymore?
When did all this happen?
