Another dinosaur here. Fortran IV on punch cards.

For me, I learned fortran IV on an IBM 360 with punch cards back in (OMYGAWD) 1971. My priority was so low on the machine, I would have to wait around the computing center all night to get my run to debug.

Ah, yes, punch cards!

I used those for our accounting system. But never for programming.

Must have been LOTS of fun!

Wonder whether anybody here goes back to the days of programming with those wire plugboards?
