One of my jobs was to write a billing exit for GCOS 3 on a Honeywell L66 a grandchild or great grandchild to the GE635..
.. many years after I left the company my wife, who still worked there brought home some print outs and asked me what 
the funny numbers were on the bottom of the print out. 
 
She didn’t believe me when I told her that they were my charging calculations from 10 years earlier….
