  • Right, Jim.  I learned keypunch on the IBM 129 machines.  http://www.quickiwiki.com/en/Keypunch.  About a year later, upgraded to key-to-disk, IBM 3742.  http://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/rochester/rochester_4016....  Learned COBOL, FORTRAN, and later RPG.  Operated a IBM System 3 Mod D in the late 70's. 

    LOL, Sandra.  Love those illegal operations.

  • Same here Cheryl!  I went to PC programming school in 1965.  Studied , BAL, RPG, FORTRAN, PC LOGIC, PC ACCOUNTING, Ran Key Punch, Sorters, Correlaters, Used IBM 360 in those days.  We had flow charts, converters, ( Decimal to Hexadecimal)  Sure is easy now!

  • You young'n.  I began working with computers in 1972, back in the day before data entry, there were keypunched cards.  Those 8" disks were the first upgrade from cards.  And floppy they were.  Fast forward to the early 80s, my first home computer was a 20 MB Compaq.  The floppies had shrunk by then.

  • That's a big floppy.  I have only seen 4 inch floppy's from my college days.

  • So do I.

  • I remember these.
