in 1971-72...we started on an ibm360...keypunch...
had another manual machine the size of a small coke machine...had 8 switches and a button...you had to set every bit...then register by pushing the button ... language was university created language called tiger 1...lsu tigers i presume. .
then graduated to assembler, fortran, cobol...i finished with a minor in computer science ....72 was the first year a degree was offered...i would have had to go another year to double major...
i decided to take my degree and go...into the big bad world...you know, some graduated with honors...i was honored to graduate...
 
I started on Basic in highschool.

The robots I was working with in the 80's used a very similar language; and still do to this day...
 
Pascal using punch cards as well, 1975 when I was studying econometrics. Damn overnight batches drove me nuts.
 
Do I need to use IBM hollerith cards for my new GPU card??

We had to use the keypunch, if you made a mistake at keypunch, it was on you.
