Clay Tablets? You had CLAY Tablets? Whoa!
We had to chisel our reports into granite- after we quarried the rocks.
The computers were fluidic and couldn't be run when cold, so a cold start
was difficult!
And sharpening the chisels on a daily basis was 2/3rds of our workload in
operations.
The burster/decollator folks hated all the rock dust they'd be coated with.
We didn't even HAVE disks back then- the wheel hadn't yet been developed!
