And as an old-tyme NC (now CNC) programmer, I used a Teletype. I'm sure John has used these things too.(and some of you others as well) ....

terriphill said:I took a class in college that required us to use the puch cards to wirte those programs. I had a stack of about 400 cards, all in order and punched. Took weeks. Dropped the whole stack on the way to class to feed them into that infernal machine. God what a nightmare! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif Seems so simple these days, doesn't it? /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/computer.gif
