Wow, quite viscerally brings back memories of using punch card decks (Fortran on an IBM 1130) in a high school Explorer post at Teledyne Ryan in San Diego in the late 60's, then in the early 70's (last year of high school) at the Navel Electronics Lab on Point Loma on an IBM 360/65 with an unheard-of ONE MEGABYTE of "large core storage" (cost $1/byte at the time).
Fun!
