How many remember round 3420 tape reels? and how about punch cards?

Yup & yup. Used punch cards all through High School. We only has one card station for typing and reading. I coded most with the trusty HB pencil (an all-evening project for even a small prog), waited in line for 1/2 hour to have the cards read and transmitted to the U of Manitoba, waited another 1/2 hours for the results to print, and then spend the next evening manually debugging.
(that was, of course after walking uphill both ways to/from school in 20 ft of snow...yadaa...yadda...kids got it so EZ these days)
