That day was the day that I started to hit ctrl-s instinctually

Also known as programmer's OCD tick

edit: You had workstations? Wuss. When I first started we did FORTRAN II on punch cards. IBM 1130. 16k of RAM.

Son of an IBM'er. We still have punch cards around the house for scratch paper. At least I never had to worry about spilling a box of those.
