It was back in 1974, while I was stationed at Myrtle Beach AFB, South Carolina. This mainframe computer used extensively by the U.S. Air Force supply system for inventory control. In order to even to enter training into the computer career field one first had to have attained a 5-Level in Inventory Management, which I had and therefore was able to apply for and after three months training at Lowry Air Force Base, I attain the position of Computer Operator.</p> <p>In the picture the operator is reading out and altering the instructions as needed, notice the lights, on is one (1) and off is zero (o). Microprocessors perform operations using binary bits (on/off/ 1 or 0). The toggle switch below each light was used to turn the bit on or off. We did not have to read nor change the computer’s instructions very much, just when there were problems with a program or the mainframe itself.</p> <p> <a href="http://texastortillafactory.com/blog/?p=264#more-264" class="more-link">Read the rest of this entry »</a></p> <div class="clearer"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="content-separator"></div> <div class="post" id="post-260"> <div class="post-title"><h2><a href="http://texastortillafactory.com/blog/?p=260" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Leonard and I">Leonard and I</a></h2></div> <div class="post-date"> <div class="left">December 25th, 2009 in <a href="http://texastortillafactory.com/blog/?cat=8" title="View all posts in Growing Up in Dublin, Texas" rel="category">Growing Up in Dublin, Texas</a></div> <div class="right"><a href="http://texastortillafactory.com/blog/?p=260#respond" class="icon icon-comment" title="Comment on Leonard and I">No Comments →</a></div> <div class="clearer"> </div> </div> <div class="post-body"> <p><strong>Leonard and I</strong></p> <p><strong><em>As told by Virginia Vauthier June, 2009</em></strong></p> <p>Loyd Michael and Lynn Monroe Vauthier were born early on the morning of Sunday, April 24, 1949 at Dublin Hospital in Dublin, TX The twins were born six weeks early.

At this point, both bills provide major<br /> benefits to Texans from every walk of life, and millions of uninsured Texans<br /> would gain coverage.</p> <p>In this fact sheet, CPPP provides rough estimates of the scale of impact and benefits for<br /> Texans from health reform coverage expansion proposals. Because the House bill<br /> is more clearly defined at this time, most examples below are from that bill.<br /> We will update this fact sheet to reflect House and Senate developments.</p> <p>Overall, the U.S. Census estimates that 5.9 million Texans were uninsured in 2007. To be conservative, our estimates here include only (1) uninsured Texans and (2) the 4.44 million<br /> of these who are U.S. Citizens (Health reform bills will not cover undocumented<br /> immigrants, and may not cover all legal immigrants.).</p> <p> <a href="http://texastortillafactory.com/blog/?p=217#more-217" class="more-link">Read the rest of this entry »</a></p> <div class="clearer"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="content-separator"></div> <div class="post" id="post-212"> <div class="post-title"><h2><a href="http://texastortillafactory.com/blog/?p=212" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Texas gained more people…">Texas gained more people…</a></h2></div> <div class="post-date"> <div class="left">August 21st, 2009 in <a href="http://texastortillafactory.com/blog/?cat=10" title="View all posts in Texas" rel="category">Texas</a></div> <div class="right"><a href="http://texastortillafactory.com/blog/?p=212#respond" class="icon icon-comment" title="Comment on Texas gained more people…">No Comments →</a></div> <div class="clearer"> </div> </div> <div class="post-body"> <h4 id="forRelease">Texas gained more people…</h4> <p>I stumbled across this Release from the U.
