All you young'ns don't know what data processing really is...Back in my day you had a real excuse to drink! (damn card punch!/damn card reader!/damn decollator!)...

Ahh... the good ole days. I started on System 3X so I just missed Hollerith cards.

Well I remember all of that OLD stuff....I was young then.

I am here in SoCal, too. Man, does that punchcard bring back the horrors. Been in mainframe since ‘81 (relates to my username; also the heyday of my metal band Alexis in ‘81).

I had a boss who was always ragging on me to speed up. Worse if I had to punch up a JCL override card, finally getting it punched up correctly after about 5 tries.

Thank G-D for TSO ISPF editor!!!
