I was using turbo pascal in high school for graphics design and for a piece of a 911 system we were helping design. But that was as far as I got with it.
Me, too! I remember having to carry that stack of hundreds of punched cards over to the old computer room (if you dropped them, you were sunk :x ) and letting the operator run them through the reader to get a printout of my code. Boy, those were the days. Thanks for the memory...Quote:

I quickly learned that if you took a #2 pencil and "numbered" the punch cards, you could recover from a "dropped batch". Unfortunately, I had a bad experience BEFORE learning that trick.
