Ah still young! 
Personally never got to play with COBOL but took a quick look whilst @ Uni… there we used FORTRAN (74?/78?) on mainframe - the kids don’t believe me but am sure I still have a stack of 80 column punch cards for a ‘lunar lander’ game stored in the loft! Oh dear now I’m feeling old too

About a month ago I bought a set of walky talky as a present for a friends birthday and because he’s about to start a long journey with their camper.
Problem was, they were to complicated to operate for him , so I’ve sold them and
bought some new Chinese UHF 16 channel , very basic, only on/off and 1 to 16 knobs 
I was curieus, So before giving them I programmed the channels and tested
the antenna ( 
)
I’m not a ‘HAM’ but this doesn’t look very good
Just a little older than 12 inch floppy discs.
BTW, Dropping a deck of punch cards is not much different to a hard drive failure and not having a backup.

POST NL claims that they have been @ my house 26-8 - 2x within 3 minutes ?
No notification / mail / telephone… nothing , So I didn’t know this (its a lie anyway).
Yesterday I checked progress of my China orders and discover that this product is ‘returned’ to China.
I contacted BANGGOOD and of course they say check with POST NL
So today I’ve contacted POST NL through their FB account with all the details and the question, ’ WHY and WHERE is my package ? ’
and the answer is… ’ we will speak with the manager of the delivery guy … you must contact the China shop and byebye ’ , So , if this shop now say they never received the return shipment I’ve lost my money ??
And will they send it again , if they receive it , at no cost ?
Anyone else have similair experiences with DUTCH POST NL ?
Wow, I’ve seen that book before - looong ago.
