He was an IBMer who spent a lot of time teaching me to read hex dumps .... The backs of blank punch cards were his scratchpad as they fitted into his shirt pocket .... moments of discovery or a result often announced in a loud voice "It's Charlie Alpha Foxtrot" or some other hex reference .... He was qite a guy and retired as an IBM sys prog after working on our account for a couple of years .. A rareity those days in a young profession..... For some the Hex world seemed as natural as the real world .... :O)</p> Thu, 14 Oct 2010 20:26:28 +0000 Dinzie1 comment 7490 at http://www.itskeptic.org
