Since I learned programming in FORTRAN 57 years ago on a computer the size of a small car I know

there have been advancements in a system that transfers data at approximately the speed of light. So keeping that in mind I think the delay now is getting tired worn out caucus workers to agree on a single unified excuse for the debacle.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

If the internal consistency checks fail during data validation it might appear as a "quality control" issue. This is the first time they have ever had a paper trail and also reported the first round counts.

I actually learned Fortran 77 on punch cards in the early 1980s.

Thank god that they got rid of punch cards. Now, *those* were a nightmare.

Used Dan McCracken's book. I was in high school. Surprisingly, his book was in the library at my tiny high school.

We were getting to FORTRAN II about then.
