I remember my technical college days; seeing the computer programming students walking the halls with there shoeboxes full of punch cards. What a headache if you dropped that box!

That was 1982, I can’t imagine many years of that followed.

The computer lab had real to real data banks. It also had a couple IBM 14 inch RAMAC hard drives. All of this stuff is museum stuff these days.
