You will not know if you are younger than 60 years old

Yesterday having tea time with my old colleague, who is a veteran IT professional who have been in this line since 70's ... The conversation had added knowledge to me. I found that is was so interesting at one time:
- Software always came with free, and given out free by IBM to MAS. There is no SLA, it's up to the airline to change the code to cater their needs.
- There are limited software vendors at that time, airlines used to buy software from one another.
- Airlines is one of the pioneer embrace IT, at one time, the head of IT in Maybank and Southern Bank were came from MAS.
- Mainframe is so robust that it doesn't down even running for a decade.
- ...
i enjoy the conversation a lot.
