Wow. I haven’t messed with FORTRAN since ‘79. I hope the accursed punch cards are history...

“’I hope the accursed punch cards are history...”

Maybe my alphanumeric skills on the IBM 129 card punch will be called for. :-) (the keypad numbers are in reverse top-to-bottom order in keypunch than 10-key)

I know how to operate an electric Burroughs bookkeeping machine too. We did all that stuff in high heels and without any I-phones too.
