My very, very first exposure was probably when I was about 5 years old, so that would've been about '68 or '69. My dad worked as a computer operator on a military base and they had a bring-your-kids/family-to-work day. They were printing out Bugs Bunny & Wile E Coyote pics on the line printers and passing them out to the kids. My dad also used to bring home discarded punch cards and we'd make Christmas wreaths out of them (with added silver and/or gold spray paint)
- waltbosz 4y ago> My dad also used to bring home discarded punch cards Reminds me of a story I heard about my grandfather. He was a meteorologist for the USAF. At the time, they distributed the day's weather forecast on these big paper maps. The maps are only good for one day, so at the end of the day, he would bring home the used maps to his kids so they could draw on the reverse side.
