"...write Cobol programs, but had no access to a Cobol compiler..."

No problem. Remember Alan. He had only paper, pencil and probably scissors.

    Sure, but, you know, I hate to say that, but I am afraid that I am far from being as smart as Alan (at the same time, if he had been forced to use Cobol for his celebrated Turing Machine, it might very well have killed his creativity).

    Besides, I wholeheartedly agree with Anonymous Monk quoting Arthur Clarke just above, it is so frustrating. ;-)
