I still give punch cards to my students in Intro, Cobol and RPG classes to
show them how programming was done when I started in the mid 70's on an
IBM 1130 with 4K of ram. Don't have a keypunch machine any more, but
long ago wrote a program to demonstart the process.
ftp://guam.packet.org/HOLL5.EXE
Old QB program that works with dosbox on linux.
Note: No lower case letters in code, but it does have most of the keyboard
characters.
Long ago, we use to make wreaths and chains for christmast out of them..
Merry Christmas.
