My father was general manager in charge of programming at an ibm subcontractor, I remember "take your kids to work day" and it was rooms full of reel to reel "drives" (ya know, 6 foot tall drives lmfao) and they had a new invention.. daisy wheel printer. And I remember the punch card reader.. those fuckers would FLY so fast (bear in mind I was maybe 7 yrs old and I'm 44 now). He'd bring home his work on wide green/white printer paper and stacks of punch cards. I can remember him telling me about "bits" and "bytes" and even what he termed "nibbles" (4 bits).
Really sucked that he died so young as he was such a pioneer with this computer thingy.
