LOL - yeah, a long while back I even did RPG II and RPG III, EasyTrieve, OS390 as well, DD cards, and early DOS/VSE, etc. I primarily do Storage (XIV) infrastructure at this point tho, working for IBM. Have not done software for a lot of years.

I forgot how many of us are techies...

Harry, I'll be doing VB and ASP.Net at ITAGroup. It seems to be a pretty cool shop. In central Iowa, the land of the insurance companies, it will be nice to be in a shop that embraces new technology. They do performance marketing etc. so I'll get to be involved in alot of different/custom things. I am doing an ASP to ASP.Net rewrite on the side now...I don't know how you guys did it back in the day :prayer:


But anyways...this is Bruce's thread :roll: Lookin' good Bruce...always nice to see a project draw to a close. So, what's the next project? :mrgreen:

Maybe I'll build me a Nova to get SuperNova off my case.... lmao2:

Nah.......that wouldn't be fun.

Gotta get this one done first. If I brought home another project, I'd be thrown out of the house!

Anyone need a roomate?

Woo hoo !!!

That thing looks pretty serious - I really like that look and stance - do you have an estimate as to how long before you're heating those new slicks up ?

Hey Harry,

Can this sight handle two, blue 69 Camaro's?

Next thing you know the Nova clan will be going out and painting their cars blue, just to be more like us :smt005

I need to address the valvebody and switch that to a manual one but other then that if things go right, I'm hoping to be out by mid to late summer....but having two kids, that can always change from mid to late summer to fall.....

Man I wish sometimes she would have stayed on her side of the bed!

Do 69 camaros ever get painted another color? All the ones I've seen are blue... :mrgreen:
