Heh
Then there were the punch cards you did by hand for EBCDIC.
We did that one time in tech school. I think that was the one where we had to hand-code everything in Assembler.
I never did any coding in tech school.
I did some DOS coding as a hobby on a Texas Instruments TI 99/4A
But I did see some guys in tech school walking around with shoe boxes filled with punch cards. This was 80-82.
Little did they know that little more than a decade later those skills would be only useful in government agencies like the IRS.
Then there were the punch cards you did by hand for EBCDIC.>>> A company i was consulting with in the 80’ had a card punch/reader. They were splitting the company into tow entities and dividing up datasets by company. One small file i punched out sorted by company, split the stack into two parts where the company break was, and gave the director of each company their company’s stack.
