My first real job was working for the Navy as a keypunch operator. Back when computers took up a whole room. The computers processed cards that were punched, verified, and ran through collators. We programmed the computer by wiring large boards. Oh how far we have come.
The IT guys, which were repair guys, sat beside the computers the whole shift, because they would go down at least ten times a shift.
For every one person that read this post. About 7.99 billion have not.
Yet I still post.
