How about RPG II on punch cards?!  ...and we didn't use none of them fancy
keypunch machines neither, no sir!  We had to cut the little holes out with

That makes you younger than me, since I started on
a 360/30 in 1972 while still in college.

Based on the thread, it appears that several remember
when there was no monitor to work on...and no pc's.
