Line Up and Wait
Hi All:
Help me out please.
I want the binary numbers for 0 through 10. I have forgotten how.
0 =
1 =
2 =
3 =
4 =
5 =
6 =
7 =
8 =
9 =
10 =
Also, a long time ago I was taught octal and hexidecimal. Is any of this still being used?
I used to repair computers, in the vacuum tube days, and we would use hexidecimal for locating hardware parts that had failed.
I had to change out a control module the other day and I had to enter the address of "36" in binary. So after trying to remember how to write "36" in binary I just used the same dip switch settings as the old controller.
Sooooooooooooo any of you on this web site this old?

My first programming course was "COBOL" and then "FORTRAN". I wrote the COBOL out on a programing pad and then "key punched" the cards, collated, and then entered them into a computer. Debugging consisted of going over each line of code and correcting and then punching a new card, inserting it in the correct order, and try again. If you really wanted to "mess" with the programmer just punch a card wrong or special code it where it would dump his program.
It was necessary to tell the printer to "Add 1 to line counter" each time it printed a line and then "IF line counter > 26 Go to new page"
That was the days of "real programming" Mouse? Not invented. DOS? Bill Gates was in grade school. Windows? The place where senior programmers got to sit by.
Monitors? HAHaHa!!!! A monitor was some one who made you be quiet in the library.
Thanks all
