I was still using them in the late 80's early 90's, forget the exact year we finally got off them.
I want to be buried with a /*EOF card ... -----Original Message----- Phil Smith Wondering when the last card reader died. We had one at University of Waterloo until 1984 or 1985; we had a full professor who insisted on using cards. We finally told him he'd have to pay the maintenance-that convinced him (or, more likely, his Dean) that it was time to use terminals. What's the latest anyone remembers using a card reader? BTW, http://www.cardamation.com/punchcardmedia.html claims to still sell them, if you need an 80-byte fix! -- ...phsiii ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
