Am I the only Zoomer? I see a lot of "I remember"-type responses, so I have to wonder.

What about you, did you ever work with punch cards?

[–] amoroso@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Although I did see some punch cards I never used them. At the time I couldn't afford a computer with punch cards and was too young and inexperienced to work for an organization that had such machines.
