Re: Fun with punch cards
I had a cobol class when I was in uni, and for any given assignment like 60% of the grade was based on whether it compiled and ran. I remember a certain satisfaction one time when I couldn't get a program to work for the life of me and finally ran out of time and had to turn it in. It compiled and ran, but would lock up the system in the process since the compiler was some old Win 3.1 16-bit job and this was the days before XP brought protected mode operation for all processes to the masses.
