I was in high school about then. We had just moved to Montgomery, Alabama. The school was built in 1929 and not modernized much at all. I took a class in business machines hoping it might have computers or some electronic machines. Nope, it was all 100% marvels of mechanics. Just all sorts of outdated mechanical adding machines. Well we did have a punch card reader! They were trying to convince me that punch cards were going to be here forever. I asked my teacher if she had ever heard of magnetic tape and she just got mad. We did not even have an electric typewriter, just mechanical versions.
Of course we had no AC or elevators either. Three stories and stairs all the way. And the boys could smoke on campus in the bathrooms. Gag. The smoke was horrible.
Yea, keep that receipt. It is pretty cool.
