How many of the XSL list have ever handled a deck of
(computer/Hollerith) cards? Some of us are showing our age....
July 1971 my father gave me a deck in a 3/4-filled box and told me to
print the deck the next time I had a chance.
Teacher is standing at the printer while I'm at the IBM 1130 console
after writing and invoking a short FORTRAN program to read a card and
print a line and repeat.
Teacher asks "Where did you get this deck, Ken?"
It was my first example of the character print naked lady. I didn't
know they even existed.
