ha ha ha, yes I remember the punch cards and even the punch tape, the dos based mainframes, used to work on one of those in Defence, and of course the dumb terminals running of HP towers, that you had to stick the 51/4 disks in to get the operating systems going. ah those were the days, I think we were much more productive, no internet for distractions, no fb, no twitter, no mobile, no ipods, and back in those days, smoking at the desk, both your own or passive!!! And no grey hair!! sigh
Although there was no Porsche for me either, but I did have a nice Triumph.
