That actually is how I learned my first programing.  You learned two things real quick.  Don't switch card punch *type* in the middle of a deck as the compile would throw up.  You could change *machines* as long as it was the same type.  Second, make sure you put sequence numbers on your cards.  They weren't required but you were a dropped deck or a smart alec push away from having to manually re-sequence your deck.  No fun at 4:00am when you were submitting a multi hundred card deck to the I/O counter to get in line to have your program run for a class at 8:00am.

I'm sure there are a few out there that remember that.

Not high school , but still young. She starred on weekly TV comedy show (Rowin and Martin) in the late 1960's......no fantasizing  :)  

 

I've heard stories from old professors about what it was like to work at a university during the sexual revolution.

It sounds like it was a pretty groovy time to be a man.

I was around when Jesus Christ had his moment of doubt and pain.

I made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands and sealed his fate.

I stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw it was time for a change.

I killed the Czar and his Ministers, and Anastasia screamed in vain.

I rode a tank and held a general's rank when the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank.

Pleased to meet you. I hope you guess my name. 

What's puzzling you is the nature of my game. 

same here

HEY !!!

Don't put me in the 70's.   I ain't turned the corner yet.  Albeit...I shore would like to.

When I was 60...I benched 295.  When I turn 70...my goal is 250.

I honestly think the Modelo Negra is helping....(Smile).

I'd draft you old-timers before I'd draft a lot of the younger guys around here.

Let's not forget about the Silver Shields in Alexander's army.

They were mostly over 60 but they were feared on the battlefield.

Same here. fortran and cobol.

We had a computer room with big fans. We linked up with Darthmouth over special lines. 

You had to reserve computer time. 

I still recall the girl that banged the professor for A's. 

Good memories.

I took fortran and cobol and then to satisfy a degree requirement had to take basic.  Long story.  Anyway, my basic prof was in shock at the programs I was turning in.  After learning structured languages, I was writing structured basic programs and he wasn't used to that.  He was used to spaghetti code that was hard to follow.  I still remember my print routines always started with line 5000 back in the days when you had to track where the print head was on the paper.

I have you both beat.

I was at the Royal Society in London on February 1, 1673, when Leibniz unveiled his calculating machine. 

Sometimes you had to shake it a bit, but it could perform all 4 arithmetic operations mechanically. 

We've come a long way, haven't we?

The word on the street is that the Flood got him.

He must've forgot what Lil Wayne used to say:

    I could die now. Rebirth, motherfu**er.

    Hop up in my spaceship and leave Earth, motherfu**er.

    I'm gone.

    Motherfu**er, I'm gone.

I think we've met...

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning, I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!

One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know St. Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
