I manage somewhere around 300TB for my company. Always astonishes my Dad, who grew up in the IBM Mainframe world of the 70s....just a few years removed from punchcards.
Everyday I tell myself I’m sick of ‘em...then some new technology or software shows up and that’s that.
[Al Pacino: “I keep tryin’ to get out but they keep pullin’ me back in!”]
If I HAD to work them, then I’d probably feel as you do.
Back in the 70s, I went to Norristown PA with my boyfriend’s family to visit his sister.
She worked for a data company and the “computer” took up the whole room and there were boxes of punch cards *everywhere* with lots of people diligently rifling through them.
I had absolutely no idea what they were doing.
[that memory always makes me think of the old movie “Colossus: The Forbin Project”]....;D
