A real blast from the past.

I'm curious now, how many people on the NG have ever seen punched
cards?

I have about fifty boxes of 2,000 punched cards each in the basement

Fortran II, Fortran IV, FAP, GMAP, BAL, SNOBOL, and most uselessly
some binary mixed in for machines you'll never see again.

Chiefly just stuff stashed in my NJ office when I moved to Ohio.

Thereafter everything was on a HD somewhere.

I also have a dozen 800bpi NRZI and 1600bpi PE tapes in a closet.

Never throw anything out.

Whoa, sounds like you have a museum there, Ron.
