Subject: RE: Help: Terminology for endless loop songs
ANDs, NANDs, Gates, J-K Flip Flops yes and all CAPS for FORTRAN, SPSS, COBOL, real BASIC. I know I'm missing a bunch. Didn't keep my stick in it beyond college. The original Star Trek (How many Klingons do you want?). Punch Tape and card readers. What fun! You'd have a two foot high project program on IBM cards and OOPS! Phone cradle modems 600 to 900 baud rate. FORTRAN was a pleasure to program in. As I remember the double nested do-loop (error) would run between two sub-routines. The completion of one set of intructions would throw it over to the second set then back.
Abby Sale! Yes, I remember kids in grade school would recite the VooDoo HooDoo thing but I didn't know it's origin. I knew it wasn't original when I saw Bowie's version. It was years later that I saw the Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer ( Cary Grant and somebody) and heard the original ( I assume???)
