>Just waiting for "I programmed FoxPro for punch cards"
My first programming, back in 1968, was breaking Veldman's Hierarchical Profile Grouping Analysis into subroutines that could be on our IBM Model 30 with 8K of core memory, i.e., .wire wrapped around magnets. In Fortran. Thank goodness for the self-teaching books from IBM on same. Punch cards were the name of the game.
That's how I came to love programming, in fact. All because of a boring class on psychological personality theorists and because I couldn't stand the thought of doing a traditional end-of-course paper.
