Here’s what really bothers me. After much anguish and frustration, I finally got proficient with computer punch cards. Then some pinhead somewhere got rid of the whole system.

I learned to program on Fortran punchcards with a Univac computer the occupied 2 air conditioned floors of the E.E.R.C. building at Michigan Technological University in 1976. Good times. Houghton/Hancock in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

Ah yes, the days of feeding your cards to the IBM 360 to find your typos. THe machine the school had to read and give you a printout was notorious for eating cards.
So, feed them to the computer and hope you did not screw up.
