When I was in College they were talking about the Pascal language. I don't think they use it any more.

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.

When I went through Tech training for the AF they had just phased out the punch cards. The Punches were still in the classrooms. I did have to learn how to read Ascii tape. If you messed up in 1 spot you had to run a whole new tape.

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.
