5 track paper tape ... mumble mumble ... hollerith ... grumble grumble ... punch card ... mumble ... marveled at the technology that allowed us to encode *lowercase letters*!!!1!! (or 7 track paper tape as it was known).
Actually I'm only 49 but I started quite young. I've been a paid programmer for nearly 30 years (probably 28 years but when it gets this long things get fuzzy :) ) I think I was 11 or 12 when I wrote my first program - using paper tape. You know what the great thing is, it just keeps getting better! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
