First year EE at Rutgers we were still using punch cards. Then went to 8" floppies, but the programs were still run in batch overnight. Lines at the terminals were a few hours long, so I would type in the program on a CP/M machine, then just print it on the engineering printer so the output would match.
I may have some 8" floppies, but no more bookmarks (punchcards)
My first home printer was a modified teletype. 110 characters a minute, all caps. I'd start a printout, and come pack a few hours later.
