I remember those. Typos were a bitch! I will never forget when I dropped a 5 inch stack of cards (a class project) held together by rubber bands exploded on the floor. Luckily I had an error free printout to hand in.

I can appreciate that. I had finally got my Fortran final to compile and I started to head home in the early morning. It was winter and as I was stepping up into a bus and I fell on the ice. My box of cards went flying into the slush. I spent the next couple hours in the lab bathroom under the hand dryers. It felt like the end of the world.

Lucky for me, the next semester (1984), we had access to Apple II's with cool 3 1/4 floppy disks!

Lucky for me, the next semester (1984), we had access to Apple II's with cool 5 1/4 floppy disks!
