    Question of the Week

    The Triumphant return of the question of the week!!!

    I just got back from a summer away from computers. The withdrawal was terrible...

    Anywho, onto bigger and better things:


    Given the choice, would you rather study computer science in college today, or back in the old punch-card days?

    Punch card must have been frustrating. Writing a program on 200 little cards walking down to the computing department finding only to find out when you run your program it doesn’t work because you missed a hole some were. Then on your way back you slip and fall now you card are all over the floor and out of order causing you to have a nervous break down.

    Check this link out to lern everything you wanted to know about punch cards but were afraid to ask

    Its not software piracy. I’m just making multiple off site backups.
