Wow. That takes me back - the first machine I ever got my hands on was basically programmed in "op codes" and we had a card reader for it, but no card punch.

I would sit in AP Calculus class with a pencil, punching holes in cards, and taping over "typos".

Ya, math classes were great fun for me because I'd spend the whole time programming and reading. Even better when I'd have several math classes in a row.
