where is todd burch?

[Jerry Olexa]

Congrats Todd! Sounds like you're making thew right decision @ this time.

[Kelly C. Hanna]

Wow...I'm surprised to hear that Todd! Your area is losing a great craftsman. Glad to hear the new job is good for you financially though. So what are the long term plans?

[Todd Burch]

Kelly, my area is not losing a great craftsman, he just got a lot more picky and a lot more expensive!

Long term plans are predicated on health of parents, heatlh of in-laws, property values, job satisfaction, et al...

Riiiiiiiiichhhh - Nope, they aren't Ruby!! More like assembler! (but I'll fit a lot of REXX in too) ....

Hummm, say Todd, which is faster: LA R1,0 or XR R1,R1? Which instructions are interuptible? Sounds like you are a VM type

[Kelly C. Hanna]

Sounds like what I would like to do someday. Best wishes for a better quality of life Todd. I hope everything works out for you in the future.

[Tom Sweeney]

That is really a shocker - your work has been a real inspiration to many of us. Sounds like you made a good choice though & that you'll keep your hands in the WW'ing stuff at least a little bit.. Hopefully we'll get to see more projects down the road - just less of them I guess.

Congratulations and good luck with the new gig.

Kennnnnnnnnn... MVS. I used to do VM - many moons ago.

LA in my book, but that's an educated guess. It doesn't set the CC. However, there are no storage references on the XR. (And, I guess technically, neither would a LA using base R0.)

Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?

Do you cut the pins or the tails first?

Just pulling your chain a little Todd. We had a VP over the IT group at Texas Instruments that worried about things like instruction speed. Can you imagine a VP over a thousand people still doing BAL coding. He did, and was darn good at it.

I was involved with IMS and MVS for the better part of 30 years. Then I got into some Unix work. I am amazed at the sloppy use of resources in the Unix world as compared to a resource driven OS like MVS.

Good luck with your new job, but I your postings have shown that your real talent is in wood working.
