Gustav,

You could really hit keys on those old 026 keyboards without causing any
damage except to yourself.  Try hitting any key on these plastic
keyboards and you have to buy a new keyboard.

Hi Drew

Punch cards for lunch cards? That was new!

Brings back memories of my first programming experience with punch cards
and Fortran at the technical university. As one of the few capable of
blind typing I could stress those IBM machines to their limit. The sound
was wonderful and you'll never forget it - like a machine gun - those of
you who have tried know what I mean. The keyboard was magnificent -
quality of keyboards has described a constantly diminishing route ever
since (so has the cost).
