Bruce & All,

I never had the "priviledge", but I had enough programming teachers in my
high school and college days to tell us the stories, either funny, sad, and
horrific, from the usual spilt the cards on the way to the final, to the too
tired to number them right stories.
Didn't you have to chip those punchcards in stone? ; )
My favorite memories of my earliest computer days (I know, I am only 26, so
mine are different than Larry's, among others) were from the good ol
Commodore 64:
LOAD "*",8,1
or perhaps the old audio tape storage devices, where you had to get the
counter to the program, which hardly ever worked!
Ah, the good ol' days. : )
Scott S.
