Wow Portico, bringing back some memories here. I worked on the System/370 at the start of my (not so) illustrious career and reached the heady heights of shift supervisor which meant being in sole charge of the master console on a shift of 6 operators. The accompanying mountable 3330 disks did wonder for my biceps too! My only problem with “A Tech Jones” is the footnote and your claim to be Sting’s double. Whaaat?? Really?
The Sting thing is true, although I know it sounds ridiculous. Over they years, I bet at least on 10 different occasions (maybe even more, BION) a stranger has blurted out “Hey, look at this guy - he looks like Sting!”
Now, the fact that this always occurs in gin mills and pubs has absolutely nothing to do with their perception of my appearance. None.
But it is true :) and at our age, I’ll take it, baby!
