I use an old archive machine that uses punch cards....yes that's right, I had to create a punch card for every single 12,000+ posts that I have here....

Iggy,

I actually did use punch cards. One job at college was to list all the books in the library that were related to business classes, by title, author and subject. Thankfully, Morehead St. (KY) didn't have a large library and I only had to type about 1500 cards.

For you old-time computer users, I wrote the program that sorted, listed and printed the results in COBOL.

Not sure if it was a Commidore 64 or not, though I think it was at least a relative. It had a basic word processor and I could play games on it. IIRC, the games came on a something similar to a cassette tape. But this was back in '83 or '84.

Not that I don't believe you, Iggy, but I've seen pictures you posted of yourself. You don't look like someone who was a computer user in the mid-'70s. Then again, Cleveland has never been known as a hotbed of innovation!

3.5" floppies were 1990s. The older ones were like 5.5" or something, no?
 
1000 Run
1010 if 1250>1120 THEN ?PRINT"=SHIT"

I remember Mad Magazine printed 4 pages, single spaced, of dos3.3 code to create a game or some thing. I think I got about 1/4 thru the first page and then thought, wait a minute... read ahead, realised that it was just jibberish. Ha ha, good one mad!

Yeah I actually remember that at school, I remember when we got our mac with a color monitor, It was too hard to reserve your turn to play Cannon fodder, Tank commdner on it. It took months before it was your turn..
 
Ha, I got you all beat. We started our house with an Amiga 500, the ultimate in home computing power, what with that 7MHz processor and 512Kb RAM. Then at school we got Acorns. Whats that? You never heard of them? Thats ok, neither had anyone else! The IT guy at school had a hard on for english computing, so the whole school got them. Absoloutely useless.
