ABEND! Ah! That word brings me back to the 60's. When my program crashed I would get this fifty-page printout of hexadecimal gibberish, starting with the word ABEND. I actually learned to pore through that stuff and find out what went wrong. Paper was cheaper than transient use of disk space in those days.

I don't code anymore, but abends are still a part of my life.
