I went to work for IBM in 1956, right out of High school. At 17, I was an IBM Customer Engineer Apprentice. I was with IBM 14 years; final position 3rd shift manager. Spent 4 or 5 years, ether attending or teaching IBM classes. Finished college in 1969, at Calif-State, Dominguez Hills, doing all but the last 18 mo. at night school.
Kayron was a graduate of Nashville Business College in Tenn. When we met, She was the Adm. Assistant to the VP of Data Processing, at City Natl Bank, Beverly Hills CA. She had been promoted from Sr. keypunch operator. For our younger audience, a keypunch was an earlier device which punched holes in a 3.5 x 7.5 inch card. It was used as input to the computer.

The name: A Computer Repair Service differentiated our primary business - repair, from the computer franchises who were selling individual brands; and who, in many cases, needed to send the system back to the manufacturer for even a minor repair! Just like on-line stores today. Our second phone line, gave us, at the same address, Computer Repair Shoppe So you can always find us easily in the White Pages.

Now 50+ years later, things have really changed. Or have they? Our observation is: that computers are now a whole lot faster, and smaller. Programs more sophisticated, requiring massive amounts of hard drive space, and huge amounts of memory (ram). Compare today with: 1965, when as a Senior Field Engineer, I installed the first IBM, online multi-branch banking system. It had only 48k of random access memory (ram), which was called Core Storage. It was physically the size if a "cement block"; It was constructed of 48k X 9 tiny ferrite beads, shaped like donuts, with six sensing wires running through each bead. With only 48k, it needed programming efficiency, which was achieved, using "machine language". In that language, a single character contained a whole, or even multiple program operations. Not exactly your typical Windows application. By the way, 48k was huge by 1965 standards, and the MUX or Transmission Multiplexer, (a very big, 6'x8'x4', glorified router) had another 48k. It serviced the remote terminals. We ran six branches using 50 baud telephone lines. Today, dial-up modems run at 57,000 baud, and you know how much faster your DSL is. Our 10 disk drives were the size of washing machines, all 10 of them could not store 100k. Our mass storage, was six, 6 foot tape drives with 12 inch reels.
But now, as then; we still work in bits and bytes, we still contend with system lockups and breakdowns. We still have to trouble shoot whether the problem is HARDWARE or SOFTWARE. Its funny
The more things Seem to change, the less they really do !!

My 1st teleprocessing experience was at the ripe old age of 19. Again it was a first for IBM. A Process Sampling System which would become a fully operational Process Control System and run the Catalytic Cracking process at Standard oil in El Segundo Calif. Basically it refined crude oil into gasoline, which as I recall, sold for 15 to 20 cents per gal.
Today its all about the INTERNET,

The problem, we as technicians have, is that a hardware failure can also give any of the many symptoms we have just described. - With that in mind: 1st, we hope you trust your technician. 2nd, we sincerely hope you will chose Kayron & Dave at A COMPUTER REPAIR SERVICE to be your technicians.
