Quoted from xsvtoys:I did the Fortran and Cobol punch card thing. You would whip up your program, sit at the machine and punch out your cards, then put a rubber band around them and submit it to the big computer behind the glass walls.
There was a big clock with moveable hands on the wall and it would be set for the current wait time. It could be a few hours or more than a day depending on scheduling of the classes.
There was a wall of shelves organized by letter of your last name. You would walk in there to grab your pack of cards and your printout with the results.
As you walked in, you would eyeball your stack of papers. You wanted to see a stack of papers, maybe a few pages or a few dozen. If you saw one single sheet or a giant pile of sheets then you knew right then that you f-ed up. One sheet meant you messed it up right at the beginning and nothing ran. A big pile meant you had a runaway loop.
This was the last class I took in college and almost flunked. Since I was a business major, I wouldn’t have graduated with that grade. One misplaced comma in your code and the whole program was messed up. I hated that class.

When you see that today’s kids shoot police and disrespect teachers....that would NEVER happen when I was a kid. Parents, teachers and cops were listened to, respected and yes, “feared”
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:My sons fiancée is a teacher. That's common place now. What would Glen Ford do?
My friends daughter is a 4th grade teacher. One of her male students asked her “if she
s*cked d*cks”. I swear the world is spinning out of control.
Quoted from cottonm4:I still have the red marks on my ass from when the shop teacher bent me over. His paddle had holes drilled in it to reduce drag
I used to get paddled for laughing too loud in class!!
Quoted from pinzrfun:that is SO 19 hours ago........

.....when you are STILL convinced today, that you " ran faster and jumped higher" in those Red Ball Jets sneakers you once wore.
Quoted from TractorDoc:I still clip the occasional coupon. . . although it can often lead me to buy something that I would not have otherwise.
You know you’re old when you “clip a coupon” rather than show it to the cashier on your iphone.
Quoted from frenchmarky:Or when you give them the coupon and they just give it back to you so you can use it again. So what'd I spend all that time snipping it out for, just gimme the discount every time I come in here! XD
Hobby Lobby is famous for that
