I didn't think anyone saw me drop that box! I remember the 1403 was so
slow that you could watch the cards being read... and if you forgot to
mark the lead card as a temporary job, the disk would fill up and the
box would die.

Remember the card sorters with the 500 card feeds, and the additional
1,000 card hopper?
Or the first time you dropped a 1,000 card box and hadn't serialized
the cards?
The dual pass fortran compilers? Had to read the fortran card deck in
twice before it was ready to compile.
Or the 4' tall magnetic drum hard disks. Oh boy!
