What a time.
You must be younger. We inserted cards with holes in them to big machines. You had to have your hundred cards all in order to get through, unless you could get someone else to do it for you. Girls, girls, girls.

Younger than you, a bit, yes. And a late start to college as well. The year was 1993 and I had just completed 6 years in the Corps, (and a year of screwing around afterwards trying to decide what to do). Despite the late year for it, I did take a class in fortran, with a very old and very entertaining man.
He explained the difference between a command and a statement in a way I will never forget.
Statement: Gee, I sure would like a steak for dinner tonight dear... (might happen, might not happen)
Command: George, go empty the garbage. (I put down my martini and take out the garbage, every single time)

By the way I judge you for commenting on the computer reference and not the other reference... where things also get inserted.

Hilarious. On reflection, it is funny what we just accept.
