Steve,
Nothing changed since 2001.
We still use punched cards and reel tapes.
We love our 24-bit addressing and avoid 31-bit or 64-bit.
OK, there were some changes:
We migrated our memory from core to TTL.
Our Bus&Tag channels rusted away, so we moved to fiber optic.
Some of us started using terminals. And colorful CRT displays. Strange
guys, they also catalog datasets. Why?
But we still supply coal to our steam engines running our systems.
Why to change it?
