Re: Re: How do you use unix?Wild. I never did punch cards. But in high school we had to enter our code RPG II/COBOL onto 8-inch disks , then the disks were loaded into our IBM System 34 or something similar. And the jobs were ran in batch as you expressed. Wow I remember the waiting, like you said to see if it was going to run or not.

basis.
I started my IT carrer since HS. (1980)
Cut my teeth on our timesharing system using a 300baud dialup connection from Kearny NJ to Perth Amboy NJ.
On Tue and Wed a group of us (5) went to the VoTech in Jersey City NJ and we spent 4 hours learning RPG II on punched cards and 8 1/2 inch floppies.
On Tuesday, we prgrammed our cards and they were stored in a box. On Thursday, we would have our print outs waiting for us, hoping the program didn't bomb and we had to spend the time manually debugging errors with each other.
I still have one of the 5 disc CDI discpacks given to me as a momento and a floppy with nothing on the label save for the name of my IBM AS/400 name : "AMPLIBR". We all named our libraries (LIBR) prefixed with our initials.

I worked at university data center in the 80s and we used the 80 punch cards for student data storage. It was loud and slow.
I started off with Commodore CBM 4032s (similar to a PET) with a
cassette drive in high school, but our teacher brought in an old punch
card data processing system for us all to play with, enter a job on
punch cards and see it run.
We wondered why, he asked us to trust him. Now, I get to say, "When I
started out on Punched Cards..." :)
Smart man, he was.

4032s /were/ PETs. The name change was a marketing move to appeal to
the business market, same strategy Tandy used for their TRS-80 Model
III onward.
