I could read a punched card

Bob Newheart having Herman Holerith explain the punch card concept. I haven't seen this since I was in computer school in 1967. It elevated my esteem of Newheart considerably.

Nine and a half minutes long - as as old punch carder, 4:24 brought back memories.

Absolutely priceless and produced by IBM. Newhart said you should probably bring the card to a piano roll company. Cracked me up. Newhart was brilliant and the master of impromptu. Thanx for sharing, brought a lot of memory’s back.
