“Those Assembler decks of cards were huge.”

I was “stacking” Fortran cards in 1981 in Engineering School. I’m a dinosaur.

In 1977-1978, using Fortran card decks.

“One” of the graduate students claimed that, in the bottom floor of the basement of the Engineering Center, “one” of the new computers had a keyboard and CRT display. He claimed you could type a line for the program, and immediately “see” what what had been typed!
