Did you use punch cards? My freshman year of college was the first year my school
didn't use punch cards for CS 101. I just missed out. Then, at my first job, there were still some old-timers that did this. They would sit all day at their desks, key-punching. Then carry the carefully ordered box of cards down two flights of stairs to the computer room so they could run their programs. I once saw a guy trip on the stairs and spill his whole box of cards all over the stairwell. Not a happy camper.
