"Better than punch cards. That’s what I started out on."


Did you have to use a keypunch machine, a card-sorting machine, and stuff like that?

Do you remember disk drive terminology from the old IBM-360 "mainframe computers", such as "unit=3330"?

Do you remember typewriters?    :-)

Yes to all of that. I used an IBM 360 in college.
