    @rrb@infosec.exchange @level98@mastodon.social @Mark62@cupoftea.social @Janeishly@mastodonapp.uk @TheLancashireman@hostux.social (Bows) Senpai! Freshman cs let us optionally do cards. From then on, sometimes I’d see stacks. Tap eluded me so I consider it a ‘someday…’ list item. And as a kid, my friend’s dad taught in tech so we used to raid the punch machine cabs => great gobs of beige confetti.

    @rrb@infosec.exchange I'm too young for all this, but I worked with someone who was carrying a program on punched cards in a tray. Tripped. Full face on the floor. Cards still in perfect order. Hardcore, she was. @level98@mastodon.social @cascheranno@hachyderm.io @Mark62@cupoftea.social @Janeishly@mastodonapp.uk @TheLancashireman@hostux.social
