Certainly, but playing computer games after a hard day in front of the
number-cruncher seems like a terrible way to detox.
[...] I do recall that there was a small start-up that
occupied part of the
lower floor of the "Prudential building' on Moffet Park Drive--we had
the upper floor as overflow from the main SVLOPS building. I think they
called themselves "Atari". A couple of us wandered into their offices
during lunchtime and asked about job opportunities. We were rebuffed
with a firm "no mainframe programmers wanted".
Apologies for saying this, but it almost sounds like to me that you are
validating their "no mainframe programmers wanted" stance. ;)
