[COFF] Re: Make your own virtual punchcard

idk, when I type "TONY" into https://boingboing.net/2025/03/10/make-your-own-virtual-punchcard.html it does not match the output which I have at https://www.glassblower.info/crypto/tony-punch-card.jpg But maybe that's because, to find this punch card in my basement, in the 7th box which I looked in tonight, that box was in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet, stuck in a disused lavatory, with a sign on the door saying "Beware of the Leopard" :) My punch card is from Wharton's awesome KL-10 DECsystem-10, circa 1980, contemporaneous photos here: https://glassblower.info/Wharton-DECsystem-10/Wharton-DECsystem-10.html Tony Patti (ARPAnet NIC IDENT "TP4") crypto(a)glassblower.info -----Original Message----- From: David C.

We used 026 card punches. I wanted to emphasize a line in the comments region with an exclamation mark. Not finding one on the 026, I did what we were taught in typing class--type period, backspace, type apostrophe. My first program was, of course, rejected by the card reader. I think my box of program punch cards from many years of computing is somewhere in storage in my garage. As well as a box of unused, original cards from computing centers all over the country.^H' Dave On 3/10/25 2:45 PM, Charles H Sauer (he/him) wrote:
