Here where?

I remember in the late 50s our engineering firm sent calculations off to be processed at Stanford Research to be processed at night on one of their IBMs. A 360, I think.

As part of the available service, we could write our own structural and geodetic programs in FORTRAN.

I would love to try that again with modern PC processors which would embarrass those old multi-million dollar machines.

Wow. On punch cards? Students should have to program on punch cards.
