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.
