you're all noobs....punch cards are it

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.
