Life was so much simpler in 1989.  COBOL, VSAM, Embedded SQL, the
occasional CICS app.  You had the 255 characters that IBM wanted you
to have, India was still a back-water socialist stagnant economy,
PRC was trying and failing to break out, the Sovs were stealing VAXen.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
