The FORTRAN I did in school was well after the punch-card era. Basically a mix between Basic and Pascal. I've seen movies with guys programming with punch cards. How old are you guys? :lol:

My grandfather, who had a Democrat on the Sussex County Council who was very "friendly" toward his business, used to fire up his dump body International truck and we'd run down to where the niggras lived. He'd hand a pint of whiskey to any who'd get in the truck and go down to the polling place and vote for his guy. We made several trips with truckloads of brothers on election day. :D

My freshman year was the last year with punch cards at UD. Actually after the fall semester. 1985

Yeah, no punchcards when I took FORTRAN at UD Fall 89. You programmed, sent it to the compiler, then picked up your output printout in the basement at Smith.

Punchcard FORTRAN was in Townsend. Bet you didn't even have a class there. ;)

Wasn't that where the animal science majors put on arm length gloves and had anal fisting sessions with the cows?

In his defense, when I re-read what I wrote, it didn't come out as clear as I would like. But I was too lazy to go back and reword it, being Friday and all. It's all good.
