I have a degree in Computing Science



...but I got it in 1981


I was just reading up on CAPTCHAs and it made me realise how much this field has grown in the past ... erm ... fark me, 27 years

There was no internet, no email, I don't even think there were PCs. We studied COBOL and Pascal, Grammar and I think we studied architecture a little.

But the funniest thinng is that my career (and I use that term loosely) ended up being on mainframe computers, so I'm essentially using the same technology now, TSO, JCL, COBOL etc that I was back then
