        Wrote COBOL programs on punch cards back in the 70's while earning a business degree. Wrote infinite loops. Afraid of dropping cards. LOL

        I was always afraid of doing that. But it didn't matter, cuz I always looped my programs- shuffling the deck would have been a better excuse

        The previous tweets disturb me. People posting crap just to do it. We should be honoring Ms. Sammet. Contributed to tech revolution.
