Punch cards were cool. You had to run a card that basically said //FOR which told the system you were using Fortran. We discovered that it only read the //FOR so we changed the card to read //FORnication is fun
Lol, nice. Weren't you one of the guys that was on Bolt.com that I had invited here? The name you have here is the same as one of the guys from there that I invited here a long time ago.

Anyway, that's a nice one, because a lot of those machines, from what I've read, only checked the first couple letters to see what it was going to be, so it could ignore the rest as you got it to do, and you could have a little fun.

Think of you worked on it now, heh, you could make it "FORdc"

I used to have a bunch of old Computer ads from like the 50s - 80s and I posted a link on here showing them once, but I have no clue where they are now. It would probably give some of you guys a nice trip to see that stuff again.

One of the ads I did keep was one of the Unix ones, and I kept a Microsoft Unix (Xenix) ad I found too. The rest I can't find though.

EDIT:

Found it!
