That's funny, same here. Sitting there punching my programs onto
cards was a lot of fun. Right. One time, I left my lab project in
my car. A stack of cards easily 5 inches high. You wonder why
programmers get carpal tunnel syndrome. Anyway, the cards were bound
with a rubber band. My ex had to stop short when someone cut him off
and the cards went *everywhere* ... I cried I was so upset. You
have to understand, you had major league deadlines and I had to
key it all in again. What a nightmare. Let me never see a keypunch
card again.
