[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 393082, member: 10543"] In my first computer class we too used Hollerith cards. We learned how to manually read them and the teacher had a final exam question which answered a riddle reading "What did one Hollerith Card say to the other?" If you had studied and were able to decipher the cards, the answer was there -- "I'm tired of your holier than thou attitude". :D [/QUOTE]
