Just be careful or the hobnail boots will be brought into effect

Here's one I made earlier:

The photo reminded me when I first joined the new British Railways board Research Dept in Derby in the 70's ,they had a massive Analogue main frame computer that filed several rooms, the data input was punch cards and the output was on fan fold paper reams and reams of it ,  No internet connection in them days.

That was my first experience of computing too  :D but you missed the bit about the wonderful decollating machine that removes the carbon paper from the delightful fan-folded prints - what a filthy job that was!  I was quite nifty with the punch machine though  :lol:

When I attended a first year degree class at Uni a couple of years ago, all these sweet 19 year olds were saying 'what's a mainframe?'  Kids today, don't know they're born   :graduate:

Ah yes, I have fond memories of writing progams in Algol and inputting them via punched cards back in the 70's.
