My first programming job was walloping COBOL on a 1.9 MIPS IBM 43xx
with only 6MB RAM. Supported *70* online users and had a
*relational* database (CA Datacom-DB).
Of course, the FEPs, block-mode terminals and CICS were the crucial
difference.
Damned shame that Unix killed that mentality, and that client-server
was usually implemented so poorly.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
