This reminds of a a bunch of 12 year olds in a school yard taking their ball and going home. The maturity level of this CEO is shocking. And aome of the moderators can’t be much older than 12 in the way they have acted. So unprofessional and so unnecessary.

radar1310··on Memories: First exposure to computers
Mine was working at a radio station. We had all the music on a database that would rotate the playlist. This was late 70’s early 80’s with good ole green monochrome screens. Later on we had amber colored. The hard disk platters were the size of large pizzas. And remember kids this was all text only. Of course the station also did billing & payroll on the system. WISE AM Asheville,NC was the station. In 1972 we did have a class in punch cards at a technical school if that counts :-)

I worked at a Top 40 station WISE AM in Asheville,NC in the 70’s & 80’s. When we went Stereo in the early 80’ we gave away Sony AM stereo transistor radios on the air. The crazy part was hearing lightning static in stereo. I still have one of those Sony radios in a display case in my home office.
