Quoting in a forum post (Digressions)

Cool. Thanks. HTML savvy people are now looking at me the same way I used to look at guys who programmed via punch cards.

The scary part is that these same people are probably looking at you and saying, WTF are punch cards?

And I remember when a small office I worked in went computerised with its membership records. All the stuff on the screen was really sophisticated for the time: we could search for members with shared characteristics and so on; but if we wanted to print off a list, we went to a room where this big printer was stored and, having given the instruction, placed a chair in front of where the paper came out with its back in just the right position so the paper rolled over it. Otherwise it got tangled and fouled up.

Oooii, I programmed using punch cards at one time!

I was beginning to wonder why the heck you had the printer in the bathroom....LOL

Must have been fan fold paper. I'm plenty old enough to remember those days.

So did I...

A young whipper snapper was bragging at the bar about how he once had to program a database using only ones and zeroes.

He didn't know how lucky he was.

When I programmed my first database, all we had was the zeroes...

That's not bad, when I got my first computer I had to pedal a bike to get power, and not only that i had walk back and forth to school up hill both ways!
