When I was a kid my mom used to work with the old punch card computers.

I think I was the only kid in the neighborhood that actually had a computer in his house (we actually had three) and this was back in the late 70's early 80's.

No, just probably not nerdy enough in highschool :-)

hmm really too young / i first saw these loaded as punch cards ... in college .. computers were too large & expensive for highschools ;)

yep back'n the dark ages ......


Yup, I learned Fortran in college with punch cards, and one of our projects was to make a calendar with Snoopy artwork.
(And yes, they ARE created one character at a time!)

Our college was hooked into the university's mainframe. It musta been HUGE!

I am glad there wasn't a ASCII Challenge site. Comments would have been stuff like:

I really like the way that you placed that series of aaa across her butt. Really made for a much more pleasing image. A few more j's to bring out the contrast followed by a question mark or two would really touch this up. 7
